feat(menu): support modal behavior

[Doesntmeananything]

Addresses: #1722, chakra-ui/ark#2874

📝 Description

Adds support for modal behavior for menu.

⛳️ Current behavior (updates)

Menu doesn't support modality.

🚀 New behavior

The modal property can be set to true for menu, meaning that it will:

• trap focus within its content
• block scrolling on the body
• disable pointer interactions outside the popover
• hide content behind the popover from screen readers

💣 Is this a breaking change (Yes/No):

No, the property is set to false by default, mirroring the behavior before the change.

📝 Additional Information

The change is largely based on how modality is implemented in the popover.

Thanks for this. Please test that nested menu still works as expected when modal

Good call. From my tests, if you set just the parent menu to be modal, it works correctly:

However, there's some weirdness if you set modal: true on submenus - essentially, when moving the pointer over the trigger, the submenu gets constantly opened and closed. Modal submenus don't really seem like a valid use case, but still something to keep in mind:
