Installation with Yarn Global do NOT create polymer symlink to binaries in yarn <prefix>/bin folder

Description

Installation with Yarn Global do NOT create polymer symlink to binary in yarn/$prefix/bin folder ... so the installation process create all the symlinks of the dependencies packages of polymer-cli in the yarn symlinks directory :

yarn config get prefix
> ~/.yarn-global

but not the most important polymer symlinks to binary, so i have these two negative features :

• Get all the package dependencies symlinks to binary that i'm not sure if it's right ! Because i need to handle the version already installed and the version needed for polymer environment!

• I can't use the polymer command !

Versions & Environment

• Polymer CLI: 1.5.2
• node: 8.3.0
• Operating System: Linux 4.4.0-93-generic Prepare cli 1.7.0-pre.9 release. #116-Ubuntu SMP x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Steps to Reproduce

# set yarn config prefix 
yarn config set  <your-path-for-yarn-symlinks>
yarn global add polymer-cli

# dig into yarn config folder (where modules are)
cd ~/.config/yarn/global
# dig into yarn symlinks to binaries folder 
cd <your-path-for-yarn-symlinks>

This seems to be a long-standing issue with yarn global add, that people are still experiencing despite them closing the issue: yarnpkg/yarn#648

I still use npm to install global packages.

I'm going to close this, simply because this is a problem with using yarn for any global installation, nothing specific to polymer-cli. I'll open a new issue to change the install instructions to use npm.
