Subject: Better explanation at the end of the configuration

Until now, at the end of the configuration step, we would tell the user
this: "To change the configuration later, please re-run './project
configure', DO NOT manually edit the relevant files". However, as Boud
suggested in Bug #58243, this is against our principle to encourage users
to modify Maneage.

With this commit, that explanation has been expanded by a few sentences to
tell the users what to change and warn them in case they decide to change
the build-directory.
