Change the "error" message emitted by alt_odb_usable() to be a
"warning" instead. As noted in commits leading up to this one this has
never impacted the exit code ever since the check was initially added
in 26125f6b9b ("detect broken alternates.", 2006-02-22).

It's confusing to emit an "error" when e.g. "git fsck" will exit with
0, so let's emit a "warning:" instead.
