Update hint - errors when importing packages
Quick Summary:
- I was trying to import a package and I received this message here:

- What does this mean? The message is helpful but does not pose the solution required: how to import or install the library?
- This PR goes a small way towards alleviating that problem. I feel that this is in keeping with the goals of the elm compiler: clear error messages, and clear solutions to the problems. For the advanced users, the solution may be obvious -- not so for others.
- Note: this might not be the best solution. "You can install packages like this:
elm install elm/http". we are hard coding the solution:elm install elm/http. perhaps the compiler should be smart enough to suggest the correct module to install? - As always, these PRs are merely ideas for consideration. If they do not align with the goals of the library etc. feel free to close without compunction.
