a successful createsliver reports the slice expiration time, which is confusing

I got this output from createsliver today:

I think it's confusing that createsliver tells you the slice expiration time, since the sliver expiration time might be different, and more closely matches what you just created.

[chaos]

Aaron told me that this will get a lot better in AM API v3, as right now you can't actually get the sliver expiration time without doing a separate sliverstatus call.

However, it might be possible to print a warning or comment to run sliverstatus to find out the sliver expiration time, to try to warn people more clearly that what they're looking at isn't sliver expiration.

When you do allocate or other APIv3 methods, you'll see sliver expiration times
