Description
Problem
Similar to https://github.com/rust-lang/mdBook/issues/702, https://github.com/rust-lang/mdBook/issues/830, but just produce a warning.
BTW, my original motivation is to delete orphan files automatically generated by SUMMARY.md.

Research direction
Start by reading SUMMARY.md handling and the referenced mdBook issues 702 and 830 to understand how orphan files are identified. Trace the relevant book-building entry point, then define the warning behavior and verify that orphan files are reported without being deleted.
