If installed but not linked, say so
Rationale: if ack is unlinked but installed, typing ack does nothing, but then user tries to install and it says it is already installed. What gives? The user thinks.
Formula ending up unlinked can happen due to failures during the link phase and we recommend unlinking formula for conflicts. So common enough to justify this amendment.
