Description
bin/omero delete Plate:123 works nicely but bin/omero delete plate:123 gives a confusing error.
- OMERO.cli might should check input against legal graph targets returned by
--list. - OMERO.server could catch this and return a nicer error from that layer too.

Research direction
Start with bin/omero and reproduce the difference between delete Plate:123 and delete plate:123, then inspect the legal graph targets exposed by --list. Check how OMERO.server handles the unknown type and define done as an actionable error for invalid input, whether handled by the CLI, server, or both.
