Inform user resources not installed

[samwaseda]

I had to spend some time with @srmnitc and @Ahmed-Aslam to understand how to make pyiron-resources operative. @pmrv told me in the end that I had to execute install_dialog from from pyiron_base. I was wondering if there's a possibility to inform the user that this step has to be made systematically when they try to do something that requires pyiron-resources without having specified the resources path.

If you install everything via conda, then the pyiron-data package is downloaded and you only have to created the resources for new simulation codes. https://pyiron.readthedocs.io/en/latest/source/installation.html#advanced-configuration

Still I agree we could raise a warning when the resource path is empty.
