Subject: [PATCH] feat: warn when the yazi version is too old

Fixes https://github.com/mikavilpas/yazi.nvim/issues/32

Note: I could have added support for a yazi version without
--local-events support, but I think it's much better to point the user
to upgrade their yazi version instead so that they also get other fixes
and features with the new yazi version.
