Description
followup to #3970
when the empty parameterset idea was introduced, it was pretty bad, it still is and should actually turn bac kto a failure by default
however to facilitate that we need
- a transition plan with a warning
- a sensible mechanism to override the global option per parametrize, so people an make local informed choices

Research direction
Start by reading the referenced issue #3970 to understand how empty parameter sets were introduced and what existing behavior must change. Define the warning-based transition plan and the per-parametrize override mechanism described in the checklist; completion requires both decisions to be specified and implemented with coverage for the resulting behavior.
