[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] Bootstrap modal instead of alert() (PR #6263)

I find toast messages helpful in case of success messages (eg. "Message successfully sent"). Usually, they're disappearing after a few seconds without any user interaction required. They're not distracting the user flow in any way.

Now with error messages, users probably want to take a closer look, or even take a screenshot if they can't figure out what the error is about. The default `autohide: true` is less than ideal here.

You can dismiss the bootstrap modal error message by clicking anywhere on the screen. So there isn't a huge difference to a toast, considering that the user needs to dismiss the toast message anyway.
