Warn when close to the item limit in current tab #2603

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I dislike losing data. [^1]

[^1]:This dislike will grow further as I find more opportunities to integrate my data with Artificial Intelligence. E.g., CopyQ's "Store text selected using mouse" (which seems to be a misnomer, my keyboard selections are also stored) option could give AI a very rich view of the overwhelming majority of my text-based activity on the computer.

Describe the solution you'd like

As per the title, please implement warning when close to the item limit in current tab. Probably via desktop notifications since CopyQ already uses this for other things (users can implement their own mechanisms for redirecting those wherever they want e.g. email).

Describe alternatives you've considered

I'd prefer to be able to set item limit to "none" (i.e. unlimited); I expect that with https://github.com/hluk/CopyQ/commit/1666b44a1db7597aae45eb6086e584dbad9b01cd this should rarely/never cause trouble and I expect that, it if ever does, I could easily resolve it with a profiler given that I have access to the source.

However, even if no-limit were implemented, I expect that this warning feature would be useful for most others, I expect that they are not as accepting of troubleshooting.
