Don't use 'dialog=no' or 'modal' for preferences window

Since at least 2009, for reasons unclear, we've used `dialog=no` when
`instantApply` is true (macOS/Linux) and `modal` (with implicit
`dialog=yes`) when false (Windows). `dialog=no` doesn't seem to have an
effect on macOS, and `modal` doesn't seem to have an effect on Windows
(at least with `openDialog()`), but on Linux `dialog=no` allows the
dialog to be resized, which it shouldn't be, and causes problems with a
tiling window manager. This change switches to the implicit `dialog=yes`
on all platforms. (On Linux, this also centers the dialog on the screen,
keeps it in front of other windows, and does a weird opening animation.)
