genie: waitfor with missing arg give unclear to user error

[FreddieAkeroyd]

On iris they entered g.waitfor(1) rather than g.waitfor(uamps=1) and had the error

Traceback (most recent call last):

AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute 'upper'

maybe we can make this a bit clearer - it looks like first arg would be a block name, so give better error if not a string type

Acceptance cirteria

• command like g.waitfor(1) give a better error message e.g. 1 is not a valid block name
