Description
It would be nice to have an option so that 'Quit Retroarch' and 'Restart Retroarch' come up with an 'Are you Sure? Yes/No' screen upon clicking (with 'No' highlighted as the default option).
As menus loop around vertically, sometimes I can skip up straight past 'Load Core' and accidentally select exit, which instantly closes the program.
There can be an option to toggle this feature on or off in the menu settings. It can even be set to off in default configs!
An alternative to the new sub-menu would be to add the 'Press again to quit' popup from in-game (also toggleable in options).

Research direction
Start by tracing the menu actions for “Quit Retroarch” and “Restart Retroarch,” then review the menu settings and the existing in-game “Press again to quit” behavior. Compare the implementation with the supplied mockups and decide which confirmation flow and toggle behavior are required. Done means exit actions can be protected by the selected confirmation option without accidental quitting.
