Suggest cargo add when installing library crate

### What does this PR try to resolve?

When using `cargo install` instead of `cargo use` the error message is the following:
```
error: there is nothing to install in `foo v0.0.1`, because it has no binaries
`cargo install` is only for installing programs, and can't be used with libraries.
To use a library crate, add it as a dependency in a Cargo project instead.
```
It would be good to suggest to the user to use `cargo add`.

### How should we test and review this PR?

The `no_binaries` test from `tests/testsuite/install.rs` covers that case.
