  * Create a new tab for developer options and move the proposed source to it.
    Since those updates can create issues they shouldn't be too easy to enable
    nor listed with the standard recommended sources.

Title:
  Activating -proposed should need a confirmation with a proper warning

Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in software-properties source package in Xenial:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The GUI is mainly intended for use by normal users. Using the proposed
  repository may cause problems and is therefore not recommended for the
  broad mayority of users. The normal user should not be able to
  activate this repository by just a single click.

  We need a proper warning, explaining what -proposed is, requiring
  confirmation by the user.

  For example:

  "Proposed is intended for people willing to test updates before the
  reach a wider audience. Are you sure you want to activate -proposed?"

  <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareUpdates#settings>: "The “When
  checking for updates, check for:” menu should contain options for “All
  updates” (the default, -security + -updates + -backports), “Security
  and recommended updates” (-security + -updates), and “Security updates
  only” (-security) (fixing bug 887079). If your current update config
  does not match one of those three options (for example, if you have
  opted in to -proposed), there should be a fourth, checked, option:
  “Custom”, and this option should persist until you close System
  Settings. (UI for configuring -proposed should be provided by the
  Ubuntu Contributor Console.)"
