verapdf should fail with a clear error if no Java

Assessment
This issue has not been assessed yet.
Description
We check for Java on installing verapdf, but not when running it.
So you can end up with a blank error if you uninstall Java after installing verapdf.
We should fail with a clear error to avoid confusion.
(But only if we are on the JAR path and not using verapdf from PATH or QUARTO_VERAPDF.)
