Bug Description

When using Eeschema in standalone mode, when you add an item to a new (never before saved) schematic and save the file (e.g. Ctrl-S), it automatically saves it as noname.sch in the current working directory without prompting the user. Pcbnew will open the save as dialog when Ctrl-S is pressed in this case, giving the user the opportunity to name it and place it where they want. Eeschema should behave like Pcbnew and give the user the save as dialog.

Note, this current behavior also silently overwrites the noname.sch file that exists in the working directory when saved with the new one. No warning to the user is given that they are overwriting another schematic file.
