Short term UX design

Description of problem:
When using the new form/YAML switching interaction (new for 4.4/4.5) for creating and editing operator custom resources, the user can enter incorrectly formed YAML in the YAML editor and is not notified that upon switching to the form editor, this data is lost. Ideally we'd highlight in the editor that the YAML is malformed, but we should at least warn the user on switching to the form editor that this malformed YAML will be lost (ideally with the line number of the malformed YAML if possible.)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.5

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a new operator custom resource (operand) and enter malformed YAML in the YAML editor
2.Switch to the form editor
3.Switch back to the YAML editor.

Actual results:
The malformed YAML is no longer present upon switching back to the YAML editor.

Expected results:
The user should have been warned when switching away from the YAML editor initially that the malformed YAML will be lost, so they can review the YAML or be aware of its removal.

Additional info:
Discussed solution with Ben P and Jon J, maybe we just do attached design for now with intent to enhance in 4.6.
