Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Some users have been running the Installer as root (e.g. using sudo). This is not only a potential security issue for them, but it also breaks the .minecraft directory locating process, as it looks in root's home directory not the user's.
Describe the solution you'd like
Show a warning message when running as root on UNIX based operating systems.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Block running as root entirely (this is probably overkill, there may be a genuinely useful reason to run as root).
We could also show a .minecraft selector in the GUI if running as root?
