Title: Don't recommend --force-reinstalls

In case 'cabal install' selects destructive reinstalls it suggests '--force-reinstalls'. In my experience this is seldom what one wants since it is likely to destroy other installed libraries. It should additionally suggest '--avoid-reinstalls' and/or manually unregistering conflicting packages.

Feel free to rephrase the warning message.
