feat: pass list type parameters via client sdk (#2567)
The purpose of this PR is to support using the same type of parameters
as `partition_*()` when using `partition_via_api()`. This PR works
together with `unsturctured-api` [PR
#368](https://github.com/Unstructured-IO/unstructured-api/pull/368).

**Note:** This PR will support extracting image blocks("Image", "Table")
via partition_via_api().

### Summary
- update `partition_via_api()` to convert all list type parameters to
JSON formatted strings before passing them to the unstructured client
SDK
- add a unit test function to test extracting image blocks via
`parition_via_api()`
- add a unit test function to test list type parameters passed to API
via unstructured client sdk

### Testing
```
from unstructured.partition.api import partition_via_api

elements = partition_via_api(
    filename="example-docs/embedded-images-tables.pdf",
    api_key="YOUR-API-KEY",
    strategy="hi_res",
    extract_image_block_types=["image", "table"],
)

image_block_elements = [el for el in elements if el.category == "Image" or el.category == "Table"]
print("\n\n".join([el.metadata.image_mime_type for el in image_block_elements]))
print("\n\n".join([el.metadata.image_base64 for el in image_block_elements]))
```
