Subject: [PATCH] clarified code example: removed unnecessary button type
 (#38157)

The code example was misleading (Exhibit A: I was misled by it). How so:
- The button type attribute is known to carry behavior w.r.t. its ancestor element (button.type=submit will submit a <form> etc. ; see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/button#type )
- The documentation page is all about closing a <dialog> and raising the cancel event.
- The presence of a <button type="reset"> in the example suggests that the type attribute does actually contribute to the button behavior w.r.t. the <dialog>
- but it does nothing, the closing of the dialog is only the result of a click listener attached via script
