Description
Add menu checkbox which allows you to programmatically prevent Cline from editing files while in Plan mode. There are other tool calls which could also be added to this exclusion list, but to start it will just be
replace_in_fileandwrite_to_file. It will by default be turned off meaning the default functionality of Cline will remain exactly the same as it is currently (eg you can edit files in plan mode).Test Procedure
Have Cline use file editing tools in plan mode when you turn the menu checkbox ("Enable strict plan mode") for this on and off. When its selected on, Cline should throw an error when attempting to edit a file in plan mode, otherwise it should succeed.
