[Issue] Remove over complicated setup for closing minicart dropdown

This issue is automatically created based on existing pull request: #28906: Remove over complicated setup for closing minicart dropdown

---

Summary (*)

Magento 2.4-develop
When investigating minicart code I've noticed a bit strange way to add event listener to elements that are supposed to close minicart when clicked.

Please first look on removed line with data-bind="visible: closeSidebar()". visible knockout binding is used to control whether the element should be shown. However, the closeSidebar function is always returning true value. The side effect of this function is it setup an event listeners to [data-action="close"] elements, which will close the minicart dropdown.

This pull request removes closeSidebar function and the knockout binding on completely unrelated element. Instead, the appropriate click binding is added to the only [data-action="close"] element I've found.

Examples (*)

1. Open minibasket
2. Close with an "X" button
3. Add a product to basket
4. Open, close minibasket
5. Open basket and click on "Proceed to Checkout"

Proposed solution

Questions or comments

I've searched the codebase for elements with data-action="close" to ensure that it will not break any other functionality. However I'm guessing some modules may using this "API".

Other question is whether data-action="close" attribute is needed. By searching in a code it doesn't seem to have a purpose, but it increase HTML to content ratio.
