Bug Description

Per bug 1519516, I have come to realize that some users upgrade Mahara by copying the new version over their old version. This can cause problems because it doesn't delete files that have been removed in the new install.

It would probably be a good idea if we added a check for this, either in Mahara's pre-upgrade sanity check, or even just a warning on the admin login page.
