Improves the error message, when using a top-level directory by mistake.
We want to avoid the case where people "forget" to include the lima subdirectory.
Currently the semantics are hidden under "internals": https://lima-vm.io/docs/dev/internals/
And it can be assumed that LIMA_HOME will work similar to HOME, i.e. add the subdir for you
Once we have documentation on how to relocate the instances to a local disk, we can recommend a subdir.
Something like
LIMA_HOME=/local/$USER/lima
or somesuch, for where~/.lima
is on a network filesystem
