Reproduction steps

I accidentally called the pnpm-workspace.yaml file pnpm-workspaces.yaml and consequently observed really weird behavior with pnpm, it took me a good 20 minutes to realise that I'd misspelt the config file name.

Describe the Bug

pnpm should detect that a pnpm-workspace.yaml isn't present but a pnpm-workspaces.yaml file is present, the pluralisation is an easy mistake to make.

Expected Behavior

If a pnpm-workspaces.yaml file exists, error with a message informing that you probably meant pnpm-workspace.yaml instead.
