Detect when ImageJ.app/ is in C:\Program Files\ on Windows and the current account has no privileges to write there

Description

Windows is a funny platform, with its ACLs it is not fitting into the security model of Java. Just testing new File("C:
Program Files
").canWrite() does not really give us the correct answer whether Windows will refuse to let us update files there.

So we need a way to detect that situation and warn the user (but only once, recording the date via Preferences) that we'll be unable to perform an update.
