Restore "admin dir" warning on login page

Commit 9da643a6f6c1b7604598968baa3cd2f6fd4540ff modified the admin
checks on login page to remove the logic checking for pre 1.0 upgrade
steps.

However, it also (probably unintentionally) removed the check for admin
directory presence, so administrators are no longer reminded that they
should delete this directory, potentially leaving them exposed to
security breaches.

This commit restores the warning, and improves the error message.
