        Method to read default values for template parameters and merge with user supplied values.

        Example:
        If the template contains the following parameters defined

        Parameters:
            Param1:
                Type: String

                Default: default_value

        And, the user explicitly provided the following parameter values:

        {
            Param2: "new value"
        }

        then, this method will grab default value for Param1 and return the following result:

            Param1: "default_value",
            Param2: "new value"
