Implement warning message when opening .pdex or .pdez files #560

Description

Created by: SableRaf

Currently, it is possible to open and run a .pdez or .pdex file downloaded from the web without any extra steps. It could be wise to add a warning when opening a bundled sketch/mode/tool/library to tell a user to only run third-party code if they trust the author (similar to VSCode's restricted mode).

Note: Unlike VSCode and its extensions, the PDE won't run arbitrary code just when you open a sketch so this is is not an apples to apples comparison, but since we made it easier to execute arbitrary code on a machine running the PDE, it might still be a good idea to add that extra layer of security.

Edit: this was initially mentioned here #559
