Add warning when saving WebDAV shares with Change User & Group Ownership selected

Description

If you have Windows Pools and shares set up, then decide to use WebDav with an existing share, the Windows permissions (user and group) are overwritten with WebDav (Unix). This creates an environment where Windows shares are read only and must be rebuilt. The file system becomes almost useless from a Windows perspective at that point.

Solutions: Figure out how to allow both Windows and Unix access protocols at the same time, OR, issue a warning or hard error not allowing the change of Windows shares to Unix (WebDav) shares. Alternatively, require that WebDav shares must have a new pool or new resources that do not overlap the Windows resources.

After consultation with Andrew, I think this is adequate:

Warning: the ownership of all files in the share will be changed to group <samp>webdav</samp> and user <samp>webdav</samp>. Existing permissions will not be changed, but the file ownership change might make files inaccessible to their original owners.
