Pull request description:
Currently, `unloadwallet` RPC call fails with a JSON parsing error when no `wallet_name` argument is provided. This behavior is misleading because the error originates from a low-level JSON type mismatch, rather than clearly indicating that the wallet name or RPC endpoint (`-rpcwallet=...`) is missing. Also, found out that the [issue](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/13111#issuecomment-398831543) was noticed during its implementation but never addressed.
In addition, I've verified all RPC commands calls finding that `getdescriptoractivity` had the same problem, but related to the array input types (blockhashes & descriptors), so I've corrected that RPC as well. For consistency I've added the missing logging info for each test case in `test/functional/rpc_getdescriptoractivity.py` in preparation for the new test.
**_-Before_**
```
./build/bin/bitcoin-cli -regtest -datadir=/tmp/btc unloadwallet
error code: -3
error message:
JSON value of type number is not of expected type string
```
```
./build/bin/bitcoin-cli -regtest -datadir=/tmp/btc getdescriptoractivity
error code: -3
error message:
JSON value of type null is not of expected type array
```
```
./build/bin/bitcoin-cli -regtest -datadir=/tmp/btc getdescriptoractivity '[]'
error code: -3
error message:
JSON value of type null is not of expected type array
```
**_-After_**
```
./build/bin/bitcoin-cli -regtest -datadir=/tmp/btc unloadwallet
error code: -8
error message:
Either the RPC endpoint wallet or the wallet name parameter must be provided
```
```
./build/bin/bitcoin-cli -regtest -datadir=/tmp/btc getdescriptoractivity
error code: -1
error message:
getdescriptoractivity ["blockhash",...] [scanobjects,...] ( include_mempool )
Get spend and receive activity associated with a set of descriptors for a set of blocks. This command pairs well with the `relevant_blocks` output of `scanblocks()`.
This call may take several minutes. If you encounter timeouts, try specifying no RPC timeout (bitcoin-cli -rpcclienttimeout=0)
Arguments:
1. blockhashes (json array, required) The list of blockhashes to examine for activity. Order doesn't matter. Must be along main chain or an error is thrown.
[
"blockhash", (string) A valid blockhash
...
]
2. scanobjects (json array, required) Array of scan objects. Every scan object is either a string descriptor or an object:
[
"descriptor", (string) An output descriptor
{ (json object) An object with output descriptor and metadata
"desc": "str", (string, required) An output descriptor
"range": n or [n,n], (numeric or array, optional, default=1000) The range of HD chain indexes to explore (either end or [begin,end])
},
...
]
3. include_mempool (boolean, optional, default=true) Whether to include unconfirmed activity
...
```
```
./build/bin/bitcoin-cli -regtest -datadir=/tmp/btc getdescriptoractivity '[]'
error code: -1
error message:
getdescriptoractivity ["blockhash",...] [scanobjects,...] ( include_mempool )
...
