bug#13561: 24.3.50; `dired-do-run-mail' should ask for confirmation firs

Here's the problem:  `V' is bound to `dired-do-run-mail'.  And it is too
easy to accidentally hit `V'.  I just hit it instead of `B', for
instance, after marking some files to byte-compile.
 
Instead of asking for confirmation, it went off and tried to do its
thing, ultimately resulting in an error message etc.
 
In general, commands that act on the marked files should require some
user interaction before doing their thing.  Often it is enough that they
prompt for some info, for the user to at least be able to see whether
s?he has got the right command.  If they do not prompt for any info,
then they should, in general, ask for confirmation.
