Change `cargo install` error on corrupt metadata to warning

[jarkkojs]

Problem

This transcript emphasizes the problem:

$ cargo uninstall zellij
error: corrupt metadata, `/home/jarkko/.cargo/bin/zellij` does not exist when it should

$ touch .cargo/bin/zellij

$ cargo uninstall zellij
    Removing /home/jarkko/.cargo/bin/zellij

$ cargo uninstall zellij
error: package ID specification `zellij` did not match any packages

Why is exiting empty file better than non-existing file? Since cargo does not care of the contents, why is it logical to fail ENOENT case?
