Summary0005209: Modal dialogs can be too easily closed without saving settings
DescriptionModal dialogs currently have an 'X' close button which can be clicked by mistake resulting in the dialog closing immediately without prompting to save settings. This can result in data loss when performing complex operations in a dialog e.g. editing map objectives.

Remove close button from modal dialogs

A user reported that accidentally closing dialogs such as the Objectives editor
with the top-right close button can result in data loss, because the dialog
treats this as "Cancel" and does not prompt to save changes. Now the close
button is removed, so a user must explicitly choose to click one of the main
buttons at the bottom.

I don't know for sure whether the wxSYSTEM_MENU style is needed, but since it
was part of the wxDEFAULT_DIALOG_STYLE and I'm not in a position to test its
removal (it only has an effect on Windows according to the docs), it is left in
for now.
