Admins should see a warning when in process of overruling a move protection

Description:
When an user attempts to edit a page that is semi-protected (or an admin attempts to edit one that is either semi- or full-protected) he get's a message box with a warning and the current block reason. Especially as an admin this is really important since overruling the block could be considered abuse of sysop rights. A similar message should pop up if an admin attempts to move a page that is move-protected. Except if looking into the logs, he has no way of knowing that he would just overrule a full move-protection.

Looks ok. Just a remark about practical issues: On most wikimedia-wikis, only logged in (and autoconfirmed) users can move pages anyway. In such a case, would we just remove (=empty) the semi-protected warning (because it's just confusing). What would you suggest?

Applied with minor tweaks in r50701. Thanks.
