Closes #14619.

Summary

This improves the collection error raised when tuple-style parametrize argument names receive an invalid scalar parameter set.

Previously, @pytest.mark.parametrize("x,", [None, "foo", "bar"]) crashed while formatting the validation error because pytest called len() on None. The updated validation reports the bad parameter set index directly instead.

It also makes the existing string mismatch case clearer by displaying the string as the sequence pytest counted, e.g. ['f', 'o', 'o'], instead of foo.
