Error Prone: bounds and element_bounds

[RLi43]

If we define something like

param:
  type: double_array
  description: "This param is supposed to be an array."
  default_value: [0.0, 0.0, 0.0]
  validation:
    fixed_size<>: [3]
    bounds<>: [0.0, 1000.0] # It should be element_bounds

If we provide

param: [0.0, 0.0, 0.0]

it will say "parameter 'param' has a invalid type: expected [double] got [double_array]".

If we provide

param: 0.0

it will say "parameter 'param' has a invalid type: expected [double_array] got [double]"

The root cause is that in the parameter definition, validation section, it should use element_bounds instead of bounds. It would be nice if we can check the parameter type and validation method are compatible during compilation. Otherwise the error message is confusing.

Thanks for reporting. Do you mind fixing this and submitting a PR? I recently added validation for the mixture of gt/lt and bounds, I think it could be easily added there.
