Pause sync when on a metered Internet connection

Add an advanced configuration setting to pause synchronization when a
metered internet connection is detected.

When the internet connection is metered, and the user chooses to
force-sync a folder, they will now be asked if they are sure that they
want to do this.

Fixes: #4808
