Show generated manifest in logs when converting from legacy #666

Closed thomashoneyman closed 1 year ago

When a user encounters an issue with the manifest we generate on their behalf from a bower.json or spago.dhall file, they don't know what the actual generated manifest contains, which makes debugging more difficult. For example, in this issue there is a solver error with the generated manifest from a spago.dhall file, but since the manifest isn't included, we can't verify the build plan that got used:

When we generate a manifest ("Generating a manifest from your bower.json and/or spago.dhall files...") we should notify the user of the manifest we produced for their package.
