Description
**Describe the feature request**
Warn or error when a `cabal.project` explicit imports a `cabal.project.freeze` or `cabal.project.local` file. These files are effectively imported implicitly, aren't they?
Doing some adhoc testing for #11884, I see that these files are not filtered already when explicitly imported:
```diff
$ diff --git a/cabal.project b/cabal.project
index a2075cfdc..e1f7cd19a 100644
--- a/cabal.project
+++ b/cabal.project
@@ -12,3 +12,6 @@ package cabal-install
package Cabal
flags: +git-rev
+
+import: cabal.project.freeze
+import: cabal.project.local
```
The adhoc logging output:
```
$ cabal run cabal-install -- build all --dry-run --verbose=3
...
[ProjectMonitoring] Explicit Import of Implicit Files (.local|.freeze):
cabal.project.freeze
cabal.project.local
```
After looking at #6041, I see we might also have to warn about `cabal.project.local` importing `cabal.project.freeze` too (and vice-versa?).
