Add a Form to a Modal in Phoenix 1.7

In part one of this series, we introduced the core generated components when bootstrapping a new Phoenix project. We used a button and a modal from the core components to lay the groundwork for a "create modal". In this post, we will put a form onto the modal and create pets. Let's get started! Note: As in the last post, you can follow along with our companion repo.
