Don't dismiss modals on click outside

On several modals within the mongodb.com UI, if the user clicks outside of the modal, the modal gets dismissed and all form fields are lost. Several of these modals (e.g., Database Access user creation, Live Migration tool, etc.) have form fields that users are likely to fill via Copy-Paste from other sources. I find very often that when I'm copying form data from another tab/window and trying to navigate back to the mongodb.com tab/window to paste, I accidentally click outside of the modal and the modal gets dismissed and any of my form entries are lost. This is very irritating. The modals already have a "X" in the top right corner for dismissal.
