Description

Opening an XYM or XYMZ shapefile and editing its attributes results in loosing the M ordinate value from the original shapefile.
This is an unwarned lossy operation, pretty bad for an unaware user.

This ticket is a spin-off of #11422

Either M support should be added to OGR or QGIS should print a big warning and ask if the user wants to continue with the destructive operation.
