Since this does not seem to justify a new bugfix release of Kwant 1.3,
I apply this commit to the 1.4 stable branch.

When System.parameters was introduced, we thought it would be a good idea to
also use this new attribute.  The plan was to check in hamiltonian_submatrix()
whether any unneeded parameters are provided by the user.  This turned out to
be impossible, so the only check that remained was whether all the necessary
parameters are indeed provided.  However, this check is not necessary, because
the 'hamiltonian' method is in any way obliged to signal an error when it does
not obtain the necessary parameters.

This allows static analyzers like "Jedi" to work.
Closes #223

closes #283

This is a workaround for
kwant/kwant#280
and should be reviewed once that issue has been dealt with.
