Description

org.apache.solr.cli.PostTool is ignoring the -params option.

According to the documentation here https://solr.apache.org/guide/solr/latest/indexing-guide/post-tool.html, the -params option is to be used when specifying a different separator (for example the tab separator)

However, looking through the code (https://github.com/apache/solr/blob/main/solr/core/src/java/org/apache/solr/cli/PostTool.java#L244) it seems that even if the option is mentioned, it is never used afterwards.
