Detect gatekeeper interference with Tremulous

Platform: Apple OSX

After downloading and extracting the release-darwin-x86_64.zip on OSX, the application will be subjected to Gatekeeper application translocation.

This issue was originally investigated in the context of ioquake3 here ioquake/ioq3#236

When app translocation occurs, the main menu and server browser will appear, but apparently, the game is actually unplayable.

To understand this issue further see links here:

Solution

Detect application translocation and inform the user of the situation. Perhaps use the provided solution here:

Otherwise, it is easily detectable from inside the filesystem code if all that's required is to identify paths prefixed with /private/var/folders.
