Description

If a QGIS project has no CRS defined, things will very likely not work correctly in Input (and many thing won't work properly in QGIS either). We should check for that and issue a warning in project validation if that is the case.

In addition to that, it would be good to check that also none of the project layers have invalid/unknown CRS, and have a warning in validations, as those layers may not show up correctly...

Research direction

Start by locating the project validation code in the QGIS plugin and trace how validation warnings are reported. Add checks for a missing project CRS and invalid or unknown layer CRS, then verify that both cases produce warnings during project validation.
