Table: warn about truncated values before when saving #25

Because of the limitation of the DBF fixed-precision decimal format, it very 
easy to generate values in field calculations that will be truncated when 
saving the DBF back to disk.  We should have a way to detect this and to warn 
the user.  We could also give the option to slightly modify the field 
properties for the problematic field to prevent the truncation when possible.
