fix(runtime): improve permission descriptor validation (#14676)

This commit improves the permission descriptor validation by
explicitly checking for object types and using optional
chaining when creating error messages in case the descriptor
is not an object.

Fixes: https://github.com/denoland/deno/issues/14675
