Improve error messages when PROJECT ID is missing

[peterfriese]

When running the Menu sample without a GCP project set up, the error message issued by the Vertex plugin is not intuitive:

Initializing plugin vertexai:
/Users/peterfriese/Workspace/Projects/Incubation/Genkit/genkit/js/node_modules/.pnpm/[email protected][email protected]/node_modules/google-auth-library/build/src/auth/googleauth.js:147
            throw new Error(GoogleAuthExceptionMessages.NO_PROJECT_ID_FOUND);
                  ^

Error: Unable to detect a Project Id in the current environment.

Can we issue an error message that points the user at setting up a Google Cloud project, and connecting it via gcloud config set project

google-auth-library is owned by OAuth team, not something Firebase manages, maybe better file the request with them?
