Add graphql validation error message on create workspace page
Issue: Descriptive validation error messages should be... (#517804 - closed)
What does this MR do and why?
This MR adds description of the error message to the alert displayed to a user when workspace creation fails.
We have some validation rules on the WorkspaceVariableInput type at the GraphQL level, these rules raise a validation error that is caught in the FE. We just display a generic failure message when an error is caught by the FE because these are usually unknown errors.
However in the case where we have validation failures, we want to show this information to the user.
