Warn if people have an old installation of Anaconda #384

Issue

We've recently gotten a bunch of bug reports from users that install Mambaforge while having an existing installation of Anaconda, for example https://github.com/mamba-org/mamba/issues/2125.

Mambaforge doesn't seem to work in those cases and conda still points to the Anaconda Conda install. Maybe because the shell init doesn't overwrite the Anaconda one?

Can we add an automated warning to the installer for this particular case?
