Title: Print original version range instead of expanded one on incompatible-version error

This address Problem 2 of #6180. On an incompatible-version error, instead of printing the expanded range of the user's desired range (`>=1.9.0 <1.10.0` as opposed to `~1.9`), `npm` will now print the original range so that there's no confusion on the user's part as to what happened to their input.

So, instead of this:

``` bash
$ npm install phantomjs@~1.9
npm ERR! notarget No compatible version found: phantomjs@'>=1.9.0 <1.10.0'
```

The user will see this:

``` bash
$ npm install phantomjs@~1.9
npm ERR! notarget No compatible version found: phantomjs@'~1.9'
```
