feat: improve error messages when minimumReleaseAge blocks installation

- Show specific error message when packages fail due to minimumReleaseAge
- Mention the configured age restriction in minutes
- Suggest adding package to minimumReleaseAgeExclude list
- Add tests to verify clear error messages in various scenarios

This ensures users understand why installation failed and how to fix it.
