[Enhancement]: Proactive Warning when web.config is very large about dnn.platform HOT 4 OPEN

This would be amazing. We've run into this issue before too when doing lots of module updates resulting in a magnitude of commented out sections. We did not realize this would take down the entire site haha. Oops.

I really like the idea of a warning, keeping the changes in context is a good idea!

@iJungleboy this would be a great enhancement. I like the idea of a UI warning when a certain threshold is met.

I think that a 200K web.config is the largest I have ever heard of! That's an incredible size! and, like you said, much of it is likely commented out sections. I think a good element to consider as another feature, perhaps in the Config Manager screen, would be ability to "clean up" or "condense" the web.config by removing the commented out sections.

But back to the point of this ticket, I think that a warning before install action happening seems like a good place to occur
