D18384: Allow creating directory named '~' and throw a warning before creating it.

  I am of the opinion that such dialogs are not very user friendly and honestly very much against them. Not commenting on the usefulness of this particular warning, but dolphin has quite a few of these kind of dialogs with the same process: `Input something -> Get error -> Restart`. Feedback should instead be given inplace.
  
  A new dialog built especially for Dolphin's new file/folder/X should take over getting the input from the user and prevent continuing or warn the user about his actions:
  
  - User leaves empty input? "Name cannot be empty".
  - User types existing folder name? Show him an error message on the spot
  - User types "~" as part of the file name? Show this warning
  - User types names with `/`, warn that a path will be created instead of just a single directory.
  - User types a name that starts with a dot? Show him the current warning about hidden files etc.
  
  I am strongly of the opinion that such dialog is vastly more user friendly to what we currently have and want to implement. Pinging @ngraham since he's particularly concerned with UX/Usability these days. Looking forward to everyone's thoughts.
