Subject: feat(users/Profpatsch/importDhall): print dhall command
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

It’s often not obvious what dhall command to run to (type)-check the
dhall files directly without the nix roundtrip.

Now we just print the command, easy to copy.
