Maybe the add command should display this warning only in a verbose mode? 🤔

Summary
When a user executes
yarn add --cwd relative-path-to-the-dir dependency-namecommand and passes a relative path to the directory, the path is resolved and a current working directory is used instead.yarn/src/config.js
Line 458 in 49332fa
A user might be surprised by described behaviour, so adding a warning can be really helpful. You can find more details about it in this issue.
Test plan
I did perform manual testing for a relative path:
The new warning is added ☝️🎊
Also tested the potential regression, if we passed an absolute path to the command:
Worked as expected 👍
I wish I could add unit tests to check the warning. Any suggestion on that would be appreciated 🙏 Was thinking about adding it to
config.jstests - checking the warning whileconfiginitialisation for a relative path.closes #5206
