ACCUMULO-1556 Clarify initialization error for used fs

The Initialize class now generates clearer and more informative
error messages if an initialized instance is discovered. The
messages vary depending on whether instance.dfs.uri is used. The
values of instance.dfs.uri and instance.dfs.dir are also logged.

> When attempting to initialize Accumulo and the instance.dfs.dir is pointing at a directory in HDFS which has already been initialized, you get a very undescriptive warning message which doesn't actually say refer to the fact that this is an HDFS directory.
> {noformat}
> [util.Initialize] FATAL: It appears this location was previously initialized, exiting ... 
> {noformat}
> It would be better to be explicit and tell the user that their $instance.dfs.dir value already has been initialized in HDFS instead of leaving that up to the user to discern.
