Better, prompter hints from bin/omero admin start

Description
When bin/omero admin start fails it takes a long time to do so and then gives no suggestions. Some common conditions are actually quite promptly detectable -- server already running, wrong DB patch number, whatever -- it would be far nicer for the common cases if the script could give advice quickly instead of disappointment slowly.

Another request: If OMERO.server is unable to listen on a port because it's already taken then warn immediately or abort startup.

Another condition: on Windows, needing an administrator-level shell.

- Version set to OMERO-5.2.0
Note that if there is a DB mismatch, not only the error does not come back quickly and understandably, but logs, such as Indexer-0.log gets further and further ERRORs and WARNs as you are doing nothing else but trying to find out what is going on actually. Only bin/omero admin stop stops this flurry in the logs.

- Cc server@… added; omero-team@… jamoore removed
On trello: OMERO added to global PATH/PYTHONPATH jamoore suggests,
... omero could detect if more than one is present on the path ...

Several man-hours were just wasted trying to run OMERO with Ice 3.6.1 which is already documented to not work. Some detection of bad prerequisites would be useful.

The Ice check should be relatively easy to implement:
Similar feedback from stick:
Other than teaching python how to connect to PG, a small java class with main would be needed that connects to the DB using the same spring configuration (ome/config.xml and ome/services/datalayer.xml) and does some form of validation (checking the dbpatch table, for example).
