hexen: Replace v1.0 warning with an error.

The warning message would have been missed by anyone not running from
the console (ie. a good portion of all Windows and Mac users), so
replace the warning message with an error instead (I_Error calls
produce a GUI message popup). Allow this behavior to be overridden by
using a special command line flag.
