Subject: [PATCH] Improve output when an older toolchain version is already
 installed (#4248)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

e.g.

```
❯ uv toolchain install
Found installed toolchain 'cpython-3.9.19-macos-aarch64-none'
A toolchain is already installed. Use `uv toolchain install <request>` to install a specific toolchain
```

instead of

```
❯ uv toolchain install
Using latest Python version
Found installed toolchain 'cpython-3.9.19-macos-aarch64-none'
Already installed at /Users/zb/Library/Application Support/uv/toolchains/cpython-3.9.19-macos-aarch64-none
```
