[MCL-15555] No disclaimer for unsupported versions

There is no disclaimer that this and many other versions don't receive any support from mojang anymore, if these versions are displayed like all the others, the launcher should at least inform the user all the versions that might not work anymore as inteded when they were launched.
1.5.2 and 1.4.6 used to actually launch and start, but today that is not the case anymore.

So for the sake of less unnecessary reports and confusion disclaimer should be at least implemented. I consider this a bug, because disclaimer should had been there from the start.

Hello! If you change the installation directory to a new folder (not the default directory), does that allow those versions to launch?

We've now added disclaimers to older versions as well as modded versions. You will see this as a warning triangle, a disclaimer tooltip as well as a disclaimer dialog until you decide to now show it again.

I'll see if we can add these disclaimer triangles to each of the versions in the list itself.

Thanks for bringing this up!

Thank you for adding the disclaimer, might reduce the amount of reports older versions get.

Mark Derickson hit the nail in the head, it is indeed the installation directory that crashed my older version 1.4.6 for example. Weird, I hope its an universal fix for those crashes.
