Changed layer saving enhancement

Description
When closing QGis containing a vector layer in edit mode, no warning is displayed and changes are being lost. The same when the layer is being removed from the legend.
I propose to implement one consistent behaviour: If user is closing a layer which contains any unsaved changes (because is either in editing mode or changed by a plugin or the Python Console), a warning message is displayed with three options:
- drop changes
- save layer (if supported)
- save as shapefile

great news, thanks.
I noticed that if it is the case, qgis notices about saving the project before asking to save the changes to a layer. Maybe it is worth to exchange the priority of the two.

I thought of that too. However, the user still has the possibility to cancel if asked to save the changes. If he cancels, I assume he hit the button by mistake and also want the layers to stay editable. In this case it is better to ask to save edit changes afterwards.
