The "Infinite Scrolling" personal option could only be reached from the user profile screen, far from the grid it affects. This adds a toggle next to the search field in the attachments browser toolbar that opens a modal dialog with that option, in both the grid and the media modal. The dialog is a native `dialog` element opened with `showModal()`, so the focus trap, the Escape handling, the backdrop and the focus restore on close come from the platform rather than from a hand-rolled implementation. Keyboard events are kept from reaching the media modal, whose own Escape handler and focus manager would otherwise fight the dialog. Toggling the checkbox saves the preference over Ajax and applies it in place: `wp.media.view.Attachments` can now bind and unbind its scroll handler after creation, and `wp.media.view.AttachmentsBrowser` swaps the Load more view in and out, so no page reload is needed. Both views now read the setting at creation time instead of capturing it when the module loads. The toggle is not rendered when a `media_library_infinite_scrolling` filter callback overrides the user preference, since the control would have no effect.

Overview
WordPress core does not yet seem to have an API for rendering what are known as popovers. This PR instead attempts to render a settings dialog for the media library using the HTML native

This PR is a prototype. Almost all of the code in this PR was generated by Claude. If we find the approach taken in this PR to be reasonable, I would like to review all of the code.
