Warn users that DOM Tree changes don't persist

Reported by kaycebas...@gmail.com, Nov 7 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_12_6) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/64.0.3257.0 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Add a local repo to Workspaces 2.0
2. Make a change to the DOM via the Elements panel

What is the expected behavior?
Users receive some UI feedback indicating that changes made via the DOM Tree don't persist to disk. Instead, they should make changes via the Sources panel.

What went wrong?
No UI feedback

Did this work before? No 

Chrome version: 64.0.3257.0  Channel: canary
OS Version: OS X 10.12.6
Flash Version: 

Ideally this use-case works. But second-best scenario is to at least give loud and clear feedback that this is a known limitation.

The thing is, the DOM has nothing to do with the original document; oftentimes, it's built with javascript. Its unlikely that this HTML should be saved to the
filesystem.

Regarding the error, we don't have any good UX to show this kind of errors. For now, there are no plans to come up with the one, so I'll close it for now unless there are more complaints.
