A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
The jar tool should gracefully handle the case where the --release argument is not specified last.
This is mainly an issue with operation modes like --describe-module and --validate

To demonstrate, in a JDK 22 directory, run the following 2 commands:
.\bin\jar.exe --describe-module --release 9 -f .\lib\jrt-fs.jar
.\bin\jar.exe --validate --release 9 -f .\lib\jrt-fs.jar

Expected:
Both commands are handled gracefully (either they work and allow --release to be specified anywhere, or they give a meaningful error message which points out that --release must be specified as the last argument).

Actual:
The first command gives the cryptic error "'-d, --describe-module' option requires no input file(s) to be specified".
The second command fails with a "java.nio.file.FileAlreadyExistsException"
