Display a warning when renaming files/folders into dotfiles

Efe Çiftci requested to merge efeciftci/plasma-workspace:dotfile_rename_warning into master

When a file/folder on the desktop is renamed with a new leading dot, it will immediately be hidden from the view. This may cause confusion among new KDE Plasma users; they may think they have accidentally deleted the file. This merge request adds a warning dialog which clarifies the situation and presents the user with the option to continue renaming or not.
