Danger alert with modifier on modal title

Documentation
Overview
A modal box is a generic rectangular container that can be used to build modals. A modal box can have the following sections: header, title, description, body, and footer. With normal use of the modal, a title or body is required. Alternatively, no child elements can be used, and the .pf-v6-c-modal-box container will serve as a generic container with no padding for custom modal content. If no .pf-v6-c-modal-box__title is used, aria-label="[title of modal]" must be provided for .pf-v6-c-modal-box.
