Description
Description
Have the option to have a confirmation dialog on resetting game emulation similar to the one already present for shutdown.
Reason
Basically as things stand if I where to accidentally click the "Reset" button then I'd lose whatever progress I hadn't saved which could easily have been avoided with a simple confirmation dialog. Additionally this feature is present for the "Shut Down" button presumably for the same reason so why not for "Reset" as well?
Examples
Technically not explicitly present in most emulators but most other emulators have the reset option positioned in a drop down menu vs on the more prominent UI button bar assuming they have a button bar. Dolphin puts it in the emulation drop down menu / RPCS3 puts it in the emulation drop down menu / Ryujinx lacks a button bar but puts it under the actions drop down menu anyways. So basically I feel like if it's as easy to click as the Pause button than an optional confirmation would be nice as to avoid unnecessary accidents.

Start by locating the Reset button/action and the existing confirmation dialog used for shutdown. Add an optional confirmation setting for reset, then verify that enabling it prompts before resetting and disabling it preserves the current behavior.
