Bug Description

$ juju version
2.9.42-ubuntu-amd64

$ juju deploy --series jammy hacluster
ERROR series "jammy" not supported by charm, supported series are: focal, bionic, xenial, trusty, precise, impish, hirsute, groovy, eoan, disco, cosmic, artful, zesty, yakkety, quantal. Use --force to deploy the charm anyway.

This sounds Juju is suggesting to use `--force` as the last resort but the first thing users should do in this case is finding the right channel supporting the series in question.

So the message could be updated like:

ERROR series "jammy" not supported by charm
-> ERROR series "jammy" not supported by charm for the requested channel "stable"

Use --force to deploy the charm anyway.
-> Try to find a supported channel with `juju info --series "jammy" hacluster` or use --force to deploy the charm anyway.

or something like that. So users could reach to the right command as:
juju deploy --series jammy --channel 2.4/stable hacluster
