This was originally changed from subclassing LeftAndMain to CMSMain in #449

The reasoning was

It makes more sense for ElementalAreaController to inherit from CMSMain rather than LeftAndMain, as this means that permissions are checked in relation to the Page Level rather than for the entire CMS.

Maybe that made sense at the time, but you can have an elemental area on any DataObject including inside a ModelAdmin.... so requiring CMS_ACCESS_CMSMain permissions is just wrong. Instead, require CMS access more generally, and let the model permissions dictate what can and can't be done within the controller.

The modal links used to be routed through LeftAndMain which meant the error handling in that class was used. For some reason they weren't picked up as XHR requests so the full HTML error page was being rendered which wasn't really the correct behaviour, but it's what happened.

Now, a simple 400 response (the default one produced when a form's CSRF token is missing) is produced and isn't altered. This is the correct behaviour.

The end result for the user is no change.
