Ruby on Rails #153 Refactoring Hotwire Modals

I AM SORRY for not providing the complete, best approach right away.

In E151 we connected turbo frame modals with the html dialog element.

However this approach was not optimal:

  • We were needlessly adding a stimulus controller on the BODY html tag;
  • dialog html was present in the layout file, even if we do not need it right now;

Let's clean up the mess and make our modals even better! ✨

Special thanks to @ledockol for pushing me on this one! 💪
