Description
🐛 **Describe the bug**
> I'm learning about Durable Entities , not sure if this is supported or not. I'm using counter sample provided [here](https://github.com/Azure/azure-functions-durable-python/tree/dev/samples/counter_entity) and trying to bind a Storage Queue . However worker complains about not finding the corresponding parameter:
```
[2022-07-22T15:02:30.124Z] Worker failed to load function: 'Counter' with function id: 'a80f6d9c-8814-4549-bc62-155546eaf880'.
[2022-07-22T15:02:30.125Z] Result: Failure
Exception: FunctionLoadError: cannot load the Counter function: the following parameters are declared in function.json but not in Python: {'outputQueueItem'}
```
🤔 **Expected behavior**
> What should have happened?
Worker is able to load Function
☕ **Steps to reproduce**
> What Durable Functions patterns are you using, if any?
HTTPTrigger > Orchestration > Entity
> Any minimal reproducer we can use?

"""A Counter Durable Entity.

current_value += amount

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the reproduced counter sample's __init__.py and function.json, then trace how the entity_function entry point is loaded and how its outputQueueItem binding is validated. Run the local reproducer and compare function loading with the queue binding present; done means the Counter function loads successfully with the declared Storage Queue output.
