More helpful error messages for common schema errors, e.g. singular input, parameter, argument, output

[agilgur5]

Summary

It would be nice if Argo could catch some common schema errors, such as accidentally using input instead of inputs.
Particularly for templating it can be hard to tell what went wrong

Follow-up to this Slack thread where a user had:

when: "{{= input.parameters.SYNC_ONLY != 'true' }}"

and was getting errors that didn't really help narrow down the problem -- similar to #10630:

message: 'Invalid ''when'' expression ''{{= input.parameters.SYNC_ONLY != ''true''}}'': Invalid token: ''{{='' (hint: try wrapping the affected expression in quotes ("))'

This could be considered a subissue of #10630 to be specifically more helpful for these common typos (and perhaps other common typos).
This type of detection could also be useful outside of templating -- for invalid YAML manifests for instance that accidentally use input instead of inputs.

Use Cases

It could help quite greatly when debugging mistakes in Workflows, and would reduce support burden as well, given how common these can be.

1. For templating with expressions
2. For writing Workflow manifest YAML itself
