Description

This was discussed in the cwltool-dev channel...

When starting a workflow and you failed to match the requirements it would be great if the extended output can be added after that error message.

For example:

```
Invalid job input record:
unlock/infrastructure/cwl/workflows/workflow_nanopore_assembly.cwl:122:3: Missing required input
parameter 'basecall_model'
```

Could be expanded with the complete --help output after that. In addition it could be nice if an * was shown after variables that are obligatory.
