The updated behavior looks good on windows 11, I tested various combinations of
modal/owned/resizable/StageStyle settings, including modifying the resizeable
bit when a stage is already showing.
I also checked the behavior in macOS Sequoia 15.5. There, a window where
`setResizable(false)` is called before showing the stage, unexpectedly has a
working maximize button even without `StageStyle.EXTENDED`.
Looks like this was not the case prior to the integration of #1605, so this
behavior was probably introduced there and may need a fix in this PR or
elsewhere.
I don't see any code using the java and native enterModal/exitModal methods
which were removed, so this looks like a safe change.
Finally, I left some comments regarding potentially confusing definitions of
`modal`, otherwise the code looks good.

it's a bit confusing to have `isModal` in `Window` and `getModality` in `Stage`
on one hand, and a `modal` field / parameter here, which is set to `isModal()
|| getOwner() != null` by callers. Maybe clarify by renaming to something like
`effecitvelyModal` or `modalOrOwned`?

in case `HeaderButtonOverlay.modal` is renamed, this variable could be renamed
in the same way.

same here
