DAB unable to validate container local file:///path-to-jar

 ### Bundles
 * Add validation that served_models and served_entities are not used at the same time. Add client side translation logic. ([#3880](https://github.com/databricks/cli/pull/3880))
+* Allow `file://` URIs in job libraries to reference runtime filesystem paths (e.g., JARs pre-installed on clusters via init scripts). These paths are no longer treated as local files to upload. ([#3884](https://github.com/databricks/cli/pull/3884))
