exception handling and exception improvements (#3858)
# Description of Changes

This pull request introduces several improvements to enhance error
handling, internationalization, and documentation in the codebase. The
key changes include the addition of `ExceptionUtils` and `I18nUtils`
utility classes for consistent exception handling and internationalized
messages, updates to documentation paths, and modifications to existing
methods to integrate the new utilities.

### Error Handling Enhancements:
* **Added `ExceptionUtils` utility class**: Provides standardized
methods for creating and handling exceptions with internationalized
error messages, including specific handling for PDF corruption,
encryption issues, and other file-related errors.
* **Integrated `ExceptionUtils` into `CustomPDFDocumentFactory`**:
Updated `loadFromFile` and `loadFromBytes` methods to log and handle
exceptions using `ExceptionUtils`, ensuring consistent error handling
across PDF operations.

* **Updated `FileToPdf` to use `ExceptionUtils`**: Replaced direct
exception throwing with `ExceptionUtils.createHtmlFileRequiredException`
for unsupported file formats.

### Internationalization Improvements:
* **Added `I18nUtils` utility class**: Centralized access to Spring's
`MessageSource` for retrieving localized messages, enabling consistent
internationalization across the application.

### Documentation Updates:
* **Updated documentation paths in `CONTRIBUTING.md` and `README.md`**:
Changed paths to reference the new `devGuide` folder for developer
documentation and translation guides.
