GH-348 - Avoid eager reference to runtime artifact from core starter.

Removed the inclusion of the spring-modulith-runtime artifact from the …-starter-core one to avoid issues in native images in a Spring Modulith default setup. As the artifact is still needed to support ApplicationModuleInitializer implementations, we now explicitly check for the presence of those and verify the artifact is actually available and hint the user at explicitly adding it if missing.
