fix: ensure default type for params in remote tasks to prevent pipeli…

…ne failures

fix #7775

In the existing logic, resources used for ConvertTo should have default values set.
Otherwise, there could be issues with incorrect parameter types being set
(e.g., an array type being treated as a string type).

However, resources fetched from remote sources haven't undergone the SetDefaults
operation. If we directly invoke the ConvertTo operation, it might result in
erroneous outcomes.

For instance, a v1beta1 ClusterTask that undergoes a direct ConvertTo to convert
the resource into a v1 Task for validation might be mistakenly considered invalid.

Additionally, even if a v1beta1 Task passes validation, the process of converting
it to a v1 Task could still incorrectly set default parameter types, leading to
errors during execution.
