[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
