[issue20106] warn_dir is always true for install_data, even if an install_dir is specified

I don't have access to the code anymore that repro'ed this issue. I just remember writing a setup script for a module I was working on, and when 'install' was run, it would print this error message.

It's pretty easy to see in code what the problem is though. In install_data.py, warn_dir is set to '1' in initialize_options(), but it's value is never altered. So regardless of what is or isn't passed in, the warning will always be printed.
