[1.6.x] Fixed #21581 -- Fixed a number of issues with collectstatic.
When STATIC_ROOT wasn't set, collectstatic --clear would delete every files within the current directory and its descendants. This patch makes the following changes: Prevent collectstatic from running if STATIC_ROOT isn't set. Fixed an issue that prevented collectstatic from displaying the destination directory. Changed the warning header to notify when the command is run in dry-run mode. Backport of 4befb3015c from master
