Wladimir J. van der Laan 9fea833a12 timedata: Prevent warning overkill
The "please check your computer's data and time" message when the clock
deviates from the network currently generates an overkill of messages:

    orion@lethe:~/bitcoin$ src/bitcoind
    Warning: Warning: Please check that your computer's date and time are correct! If your clock is wrong Bitcoin Core will not work properly.

In the log:

    2015-09-27 16:24:13 *** Warning: Please check that your computer's date and time are correct! If your clock is wrong Bitcoin Core will not work properly.
    2015-09-27 16:24:13 Warning: Warning: Please check that your computer's date and time are correct! If your clock is wrong Bitcoin Core will not work properly.

Remove one level of 'Warning:' and reduce to one log message.
