#359: Warn if package index is older than X days

----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------
People often trip up with getting older versions of packages than they
expected because their package index is out of date. This is because
people have to manually run `cabal update` occasionally. It would be nice
if this could be done automatically, though we also need to support
offline operation.
In the mean time we should at least warn if the package index looks rather
old.
