pipeline_steps should be used in templates

[zeiler]

We should be consistent with our API in using pipeline_steps not pipeline-steps in the templates.

This make upload require some steps to upload for now so avoid confusion until lock is implemented.

This updates the version IDs for existing template that have versions to make sure the config.yaml is always the final one uploaded. This caused a hard to understand bug about step name not being defined from the API when it had an old version ID in the config.yaml (which I guess was also in the uploaded API representation from pl upload).

Also improved logging by using proto to dict.

@copilot fix the tests please

Pull Request Overview

Updates the API to consistently use pipeline_steps instead of pipeline-steps in templates and configurations. This change addresses inconsistencies in the API naming convention and fixes a bug where old version IDs in config.yaml caused "step name not defined" errors.

• Standardizes template reference patterns from pipeline-steps to pipeline_steps across test files, validation logic, and templates
• Updates pipeline builder to treat missing step directories as an error rather than success to prevent confusion
• Improves error handling and logging by converting protobuf messages to dictionaries for better readability
