Issue:
Setting `5.3` and `9` to `bits` argument of `RandomPosterize()` gets an indirect error message
### 🐛 Describe the bug

Setting `5.3` and `9` to `bits` argument of [RandomPosterize()](https://pytorch.org/vision/main/generated/torchvision.transforms.v2.RandomPosterize.html) gets the indirect error message as shown below:

```python
from torchvision.datasets import OxfordIIITPet
from torchvision.transforms.v2 import RandomPosterize

my_data1 = OxfordIIITPet(
    root="data",                 # ↓↓↓
    transform=RandomPosterize(bits=5.3)
)

my_data2 = OxfordIIITPet(
    root="data",                 # ↓
    transform=RandomPosterize(bits=9)
)

my_data1[0] # Error
my_data2[0] # Error
```

> TypeError: bad operand type for unary ~: 'float'

> TypeError: bad operand type for unary ~: 'float'

So, they should be something direct like below respectively:

> TypeError: `bits` must be `int`

> ValueError: `bits` must be [0, 8]



### Versions

```python
import torchvision

torchvision.__version__ # '0.20.1'
```

@NicolasHug: happy to consider a PR @hyperkai , thanks
