Display the origin opam repository when installing a package available in several repositories #6852

Description

@kit-ty-kate

opam is able to deal with several opam repositories per switches. These repositories are ranked to able set an order to override packages from the other repositories below them.

ocaml/opam-repository#29247 shows that this behaviour can be quite confusing because the fact that package comes from one repository or another is hidden.

To remedy that i think we should at least show when installing/removing/upgrading/reinstalling/... the origin of packages that are present in more than one repository, similarly to what is done when installing a pinned package.
