Listing global packages shouldn't require a package manifest

bun list --global or bun pm ls --global require a package manifest when there are no globally installed packages, it works fine when there're packages installed. It should just say so. As well there's no clear flag that shows that bun list --global exists anywhere.

bun pm ls --help
