[GRASS-dev] G7: how to get rid of multiple listing of identical map names?

[Huidae Cho]

The exact same issue was discussed years ago (
http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/gis-m-crashes-on-zoom-to-map-existing-in-more-than-one-mapset-td4021119.html),
but was never fixed. I think this warning is more of a reminder, so
requiring --verbose to see this message doesn't seem to make much sense
although personally I hate to see the warning in module outputs because I
know what I'm doing. Especially, in r.info the message breaks the output
format.

Anyway, if we want to keep the message, I think it's reasonable to change
it to G_verbose_message even if then it cannot serve as a reminder.
