Description of the new feature/enhancement

There could be an option to display a warning popup dialog when the user is trying to paste multiple lines into the terminal. This serves as a form of protection against Paste Jacking attacks. Some other terminal emulator applications (including Cmder and iTerm on macOS) already have this feature.
