Feature: Ask for confirmation when deleting features

A new confirmation dialog appears by default when users perform an action that would delete records, such as using the DEL key or toolbar actions, to further reduce the risks of accidental feature deletion. Additionally, the feature count is now included in the dialog message itself (and is also still displayed in the title bar), making the total number of features deleted more clear to users.

In previous releases, similar confirmation prompts would only be displayed when some features fell out of the extent of the map canvas, or the deletion triggered the removal of child relation features. The new behavior is for the prompt to be enabled by default and disabled by using the "Don't show this message again" checkbox.
