Refine error message in URLUtil::create

[jenilpatel264]

This PR closes #12186

Added comprehensive validation and exception handling to ensure robust URI parsing and conversion to a URL in the create method. This improves reliability and user feedback by explicitly handling malformed or incomplete URI inputs.

Description

This PR enhances the create method to handle edge cases where the URI is malformed, incomplete, or improperly structured. Previously, certain invalid inputs could lead to unclear exceptions. This implementation improves error clarity and stability.

Changes

File: src/main/java/org/jabref/logic/util/URLUtil.java

What: Enhanced the create method with multiple validation checks and detailed exception handling.

Why: To ensure that only valid, absolute URIs with proper scheme and host are converted to URLs and to prevent ambiguous or uncaught runtime exceptions.

Detailed Explanation

Validation Checks Added:

• Null or Empty Input:
  If the input url is null or an empty string (after trimming), a MalformedURLException is thrown with an appropriate message.

• Absolute URI Check:
  Ensures the parsed URI is absolute before attempting conversion to a URL.

• Scheme and Host Validation:
  Ensures that both the scheme (e.g., http, https) and host are present in the URI.

• Improved Exception Handling:
  URISyntaxException: Catches invalid URI syntax and wraps it in a MalformedURLException with a detailed message.

• IllegalArgumentException: Catches improper input such as illegal characters or encoding issues.

• NullPointerException: Safeguards against unexpected null components in the URI.

• Exception: Catches all other unforeseen issues during URI parsing or conversion.

About the PR description: Do not put your code changes in there. Put it into the code. This is what the git diff in github is for.
Also mind the description for the checkboxes. Check what is applicable, mark as with / or . what is not applicable. Just checking everything is wrong. You did not change the documentation. You did not add screenshots.

If I put . or / then the cases will failed, so what is the solution for this.

need to adapt tests after last commit

I don't know if this really fixes the issue as when called www.example.org. there was another issue where the file field contained a URL without protocol...
