A popup for Plugin editing update from Bootstrap modal to JoomlaDialog.

PR #42447

Old code:

$link = Route::_('index.php?option=com_plugins&client_id=0&task=plugin.edit&extension_id=' . $pluginId . '&tmpl=component&layout=modal');

echo HTMLHelper::_(
    'bootstrap.renderModal',
    'plugin' . $pluginId . 'Modal',
    [...]
);

echo HTMLHelper::_('link', '#plugin' . $pluginId . 'Modal', 'Edit the plugin', 'data-bs-toggle="modal"');

New code:

$doc->getWebAssetManager()
  ->useScript('joomla.dialog-autocreate');
    
$popupOptions = [
  'popupType'  => 'iframe',
  'textHeader' => 'Plugin parameters',
  'src'        => Route::_('index.php?option=com_plugins&client_id=0&task=plugin.edit&extension_id=' . $pluginId . '&tmpl=component&layout=modal', false),
];

echo HTMLHelper::_('link', '#', 'Edit the plugin', [
  'data-joomla-dialog'    => htmlspecialchars(json_encode($popupOptions, JSON_UNESCAPED_SLASHES)),
  'data-checkin-url'      => Route::_('index.php?option=com_plugins&task=plugins.checkin&format=json&cid[]=' . $pluginId),
