Description
The launcher should detect if it is running on Java 8, and then warn the user to update to 64-bit Java 17 and JavaFX if running on a 64-bit system, or 32-bit Java 17 and JavaFX if running on a 32-bit system. The warning should link to the [Getting Started](https://chunky-dev.github.io/docs/getting_started/) page on the Chunky manual.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start at the launcher entry point and trace how it determines the running Java version and system bitness. Done means that Java 8 users receive a warning naming the appropriate 32-bit or 64-bit Java 17 and JavaFX update, with a link to the Getting Started page.
