Yarn: Outdated error message about global command

Bug

What is the current behavior?

An npm user, I naively tried:

$ yarn install -g [email protected]
yarn install v1.0.1
error `--global` has been deprecated. Please run "yarn global [email protected]" instead.

Great that it provides a suggestion! But when I tried that command:

$ yarn global [email protected]
yarn global v1.0.1
error Invalid subcommand. Try "add, bin, ls, list, remove, upgrade, upgrade-interactive"

So it prompted me to use an invalid command.

What is the expected behavior?

It doesn't prompt the user the use an invalid command. Ideally, it provides the correct command.

Please mention your node.js, yarn and operating system version.

node 8.3.0
yarn 1.0.1
macOS 10.12.5

@Persola i think the suggestion is missing add
i think it should be yarn global add [email protected]
