Reproduction steps

To reproduce, attempt to call a workspace root script with an incorrect or nonexistent script name. e.g. pnpm --workspace-root batman:smells

Describe the Bug

The CLI will produce an incorrect error message:

ERR_PNPM_RECURSIVE_EXEC_FIRST_FAIL  Command "--workspace-root" not found

This looks like a holdover from before pnpm moved the order of pnpm-flags and removed the -- for script parameter passing.

Expected Behavior

The CLI should produce a message with the correct erroneous script name:

ERR_PNPM_RECURSIVE_EXEC_FIRST_FAIL  Command "batman:smellst" not found

For a quick fix, use pnpm run -w foo explicitly over pnpm -w foo
