Summary: Warning Windows users about the known "play from CD" bug

Initial Comment:
When looking at discussion forums - both our own and
other LucasArts-related ones - it's depressing to see
how often the "Room X not in Y" problem comes up. This
is almost certainly the known bug where playing a game
with CD audio tracks from the CD causes ScummVM to crash.

Since this bug has been known for ages, I assume that
we don't have any way to work around it. We can,
however, issue a warning message to the user. That's
what this patch does.

I don't know if this is the cleanest way of doing it,
so it should be viewed as a proof-of-concept. It's
quite possible that we need to add the same check for
the Goblins engine, since that too uses CD audio tracks
for some games.
