Warn users on closing projects with populated memory layers present

Adds a warning (with a cancel option!) when users start to close a project containing any memory layers with features. These layers are temporary only and their contents will be permanently lost if the project is closed. The warning allows users to cancel the close operation (that's the default action!) so that they can then save these layers out to a permanent location.
