bitcoin-cli: Make it an error to specify the "args" parameter two different ways

MarcoFalke reported the case of positional arguments silently overwriting the
named "args" parameter in bitcoin-cli
bitcoin/bitcoin#19762 (comment) and this
behavior is confusing and was not intended when support for "args" parameters
was added to bitcoin-cli in #19762.

Instead of letting one "args" value overwrite the other in the client, just
pass the values to the server verbatim, and let the error be handled server
side.
