Make config file relocation instructions more explicit #6864

Issue

After upgrading from 1.1 to 1.2 I received the following message:

Configuration file exists at /Users/xxx/Library/Application Support/pypoetry, reusing this directory.

Consider moving configuration to /Users/xxx/Library/Preferences/pypoetry, as support for the legacy directory will be removed in an upcoming release.

Similar to #6854 I (naively) assumed (based on above message) that the entire directory was configuration related and therefore moved it from ~/Library/Application Support/ to ~/Library/Preferences.

Of course this lead to poetry no longer functioning.

If an automatic move of the config file is not in the cards, at least the warning message needs to be more explicit what file(s) actually need to be moved.
