Warn with a pop-up, not a box, when a wires-per-terminal rule is turned on

Review of #1272: scorpio810 asked for a warning box for users; the inline
box added in 9a55939bb is replaced by a pop-up, as the element editor
gives for unnamed terminals. When OK in Settings > General or in Project
properties turns a rule on (a limit where there was none, or one wire
per folio report), a warning says the rules are experimental, may change
with settings to redo if wires and conductors become separate objects,
and can all be turned off in Settings > General. OK goes on. Changing a
limit that was already on, or turning rules off, shows nothing.

tst_wiringrules: when the warning is due (WiringRules::turnsRuleOn()).
Checked in the GUI from both pages, and that a plain OK shows nothing.

English for translators: "Warning"; "The wires-per-terminal rules are an
experimental feature. They count wires as QElectroTech represents them
today. They could change, and your settings need redoing, if wires and
conductors become separate objects in a future version. All these rules
can be turned off in Configure QElectroTech > General."
