      When a user forgets to specify a required field of a struct-typed server parameter, he currently gets:

      "errmsg" : "Failed parsing ClusterServerParameter 'changeStreams' :: caused by :: BSON field 'ClusterServerParameter.enabled' is missing but a required field",
"code" : 40414,
"codeName" : "Location40414",

      The internal message should be changed to a user-facing error like this:

      "errmsg" : "Invalid value for cluster parameter 'changeStreams': 'enabled' is a required field, but it is missing",
"code" : 2,
"codeName" : "BadValue",

      The suggested "errmsg" can be improved for better clarity and user-friendliness.
