Add "Are you sure" intermediate step on the "Reset to Defaults" button [#196522]

I just accidentally hit the "reste to defaults" button on the pathauto config screen....and it did :0 Unfortunately, I'd put lots of patterns and things in, and blindly panicked for a while till I found them all safely in a backup of the variables table. An "Are You Sure" would have prevented the loss of data (and several hours work).

Title:	An "Are you sure" intermediate step on the "Reset to Defaults" button	» Add "Are you sure" intermediate step on the "Reset to Defaults" button
Project:	Pathauto	» Drupal core
Version:	5.x-2.x-dev	» 7.x-dev
Component:	Code	» forms system

I'm reassigning this to the Drupal core project. Like most modules, the Pathauto settings pages is built using system_settings_form($form) function which automatically adds the "Reset to Defaults" button. While I'm sure I could write some custom code in Pathauto to implement this, it would be much better to do this in a manner that would benefit all modules.

And fwiw, I agree, that is a potentially dangerous action and dangerous actions should either 1) require confirmation or 2) be easy to undo (or both). This is neither :(
