Add more granular Auto-Type confirmation settings (#12370)

This new setting gives users more control and safety:

* When Auto-Type is invoked globally (e.g., via a system-wide hotkey), the confirmation popup will always appear, letting the user confirm which credentials will be auto-typed.
* When Auto-Type is invoked from within KeePassXC's main window, the confirmation step can be skipped, since the user already can visually confirm which entry is being auto-typed.

This balances usability and security, reducing friction for intended actions while providing an extra safeguard for potentially ambiguous global Auto-Type triggers.
