This pull request addresses an issue where the absence of the version key in package.json resulted in an unclear and misleading error message.
Previously, when executing CLI commands such as yalc publish or yalc add without a version key in package.json, the application threw a generic TypeError related to path operations, which did not directly indicate the actual problem.

Benefits:

This update ensures that users receive a straightforward and informative error message, making it easier to diagnose configuration issues in their projects. By improving the clarity of error messages, we enhance the user experience and reduce potential confusion during package management tasks.

Issue 241

CC: @wclr

This commit introduces error handling improvements for cases where the 'version' key is absent in package.json. Previously, the error thrown did not clearly indicate the issue was related to the missing 'version' key, leading to confusion. Now, the application checks for the 'version' key early in the command execution process and provides a clear and descriptive error message if it is not found.
