UI Warning for empty Stack Trace Root

[sdzhong]

Problem Statement

For Code Mappings, it is risky to have an empty Stack Trace Root value since it matches all stack traces and means the other rules won't be applied. A warning is in the docs:

For best results, we recommend always providing a non-empty value for the Stack Trace Root when possible.

When adding Code Mappings, it's very easy to add an empty Stack Trace Root Code Mapping which could inadvertently prevent all other code mappings from working correctly.

Solution Brainstorm

Add a warning in the UI when the user attempts to add a Code Mapping with an empty value for the Stack Trace Root. The warning would describe the risk of this Code Mapping.

I really like the idea of surfacing this - adding to our core product rotation backlog for prioritization
