move towards a modal confirmation/alert dialog rather than native alerts/confirmations

[jdavisclark]

this is mainly for discussion, but I would like to see Kibana move towards a more integrated alert/confirmation UI rather than depending on the native alert/confirm elements.

Native browser confirmations/alerts are almost becoming an anti-pattern; evidenced by the fact that lots of browsers start adding the "do you want to prevent more popups" option after one of two times.

this was brought up by @simianhacker in #5947 (found it when I searched to see if this was already an open issue), but it probably needs its own issue.

I think it would be great to come up with an angular directive that every plugin author could use for this. We use to use modals for things like this in Kibana 3 but we don't really use a modal in Kibana 4. I would be interested in hearing @rashidkpc thoughts on this.

Also a good thing for @alt74 to think about

Yeah, I agree with the OP here. IMHO we should expand the Notify service to be a 2 way thing in which notifications become actionable events.
