Wrong parameter name in the Get-Variable cmdlet error message. #7383
Description
When using Get-Variable (or Get-Alias) cmdlet with the -Scope parameter with wrong value, the error message refers to scopeID parameter.
Even though it is the real parameter of the GetScopeByID and GetScopeByID internal methods, the error message returns to the user, who used the -Scope parameter.
So it would be nice, if the error messages refer to the -Scope parameter.
Steps to reproduce
Get-Variable -Scope 100
Get-Variable -Scope SomeWrongScopeNameExpected behavior
Get-Variable : The scope number '100' exceeds the number of active scopes.
Parameter name: Scope
Actual value was 100.

+ Get-Variable -Scope 100

+ CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (:) [Get-Variable], PSArgumentOutOfRangeException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : ArgumentOutOfRange,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.GetVariableCommand
Get-Variable : Cannot process argument because the value of parameter "Scope" is not valid.
Valid values are "Global", "Local", or "Script", or a number relative to the current scope
(0 through the number of scopes where 0 is the current scope and 1 is its parent).
Change the value of the "Scope" parameter and run the operation again.
