UI hang when performing schematic edit actions on network shares

This issue is due to the file I/O activity cause by checking file existence and read only status when SCH_EDIT_FRAME::UpdateTitle() is called to update the modified indicator(*) in the title bar.

Description

This issue is related to and discuss in issue #9278 (closed).

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open a schematic on a network share and perform any edit operation.
  2. Observe UI hang proportional to the network speed.
