Subject: [PATCH] fix: add heartbeat to keep dynamic params websocket open
 (#20026)

## Summary

In this pull request we're adding a heartbeat to the
`handleParameterWebsocket` function to ensure that the connection stays
open until the 30 min timeout has been reached.

Closes: https://github.com/coder/coder/issues/19805

### Testing

- Reproduced the problem mentioned in the issue (websocket connection
closes after ~10 minutes of inactivity on the create workspace page)

- Confirmed that adding the heartbeat kept the connection open until the
30 min timeout was reached
