This PR https://github.com/apache/openwhisk/pull/4559 added init-time
parameters. It allows those parameters to be specified on action
creation/updates as well as at invoke time.

This note is to solicit feedback on whether the controller should disallow
init-parameters at invoke time. The reason is that unless the activation is
a fresh (cold) activation, the init-parameters will not be observable by
the action (init-paramters are only sent at /init time and not /run time).

So it can be confusing although it is also convenient for rapid iterations
in the cloud (update/invoke pattern where the invoke is always cold after
an update).

Opinions and feedback?
