Improve user indication/handling of short exposure times #25

Enlarger profiles attempt to compensate for ramp-up/ramp-down time during exposures, which should theoretically make short exposures (especially for test strip increments) more consistent. However, they can also end up imposing a minimum exposure time. When trying to use a time below this minimum, there should be some sort of warning and/or behavior change on the device. This situation is most likely to happen on incremental test strip creation, but is technically possible for normal exposures as well.

For test strips, possible solutions include:

For normal exposures, a simple limit or warning will suffice.
