Error message of spread arguments should be `got 0 or more`

TypeScript Version: master

Code

declare function f(): void;
f(...[]);

Expected behavior:

$ node built/local/tsc.js index.ts
index.ts(2,1): error TS2556: Expected 0 arguments, but got 0 or more.

Actual behavior:

$ node built/local/tsc.js index.ts
index.ts(2,1): error TS2556: Expected 0 arguments, but got 1 or more.

Not correct.

[falsandtru]

This error is correct but its error message is not correct.

Expected 0 arguments, but got 0 or more. does not make grammatical sense. While, after the spread, it results in no additional arguments, passing a spread argument, is a argument, so the error it stands is grammatically correct.

@falsandtru please read the explanation in #20071 — it is technically incorrect but easier to understand for the common case.
