v5: Floating labels (#30449)
* v5: Promote floating labels example to component

- Adds new .form-floating
- Stubs out basics of a docs page
- Removes existing Example

* Update floating labels to support .form-select, make inputs and selects more consistent

- To do this, I made the .form-control and .form-select consistent in min-height vs height
- Removed some unused variables now
- Updated -color to be the -color because I don't know why this was any different before
- Update page to include some examples for layout, validation, and value
- Rewrite styles to not modify padding, but instead transform and opacity

* Streamline and bulletproof some things

- Apply some optimizations from code review
- Removed unecessary properties from the label
- Add some comments for what properties are required
- Move from fixed height for labels to height 100% so we can support textareas
- Improve docs a little bit, add ToC

* Move some values to variables, switch from scaling font-size to scale, update transforms

* Bring over changes from #30966 and add to them to tighten things up

* Delete the now unused example images

* Fix typo

* Allowlist the calc function

* Add transform-origin, update transform values

* Test out autofill fix

* Fix linter issue

* Mention it in the migration guide

* Bump bundlesize

* Add one more variable per review

* Shave .25rem off the height

## Example
Wrap a pair of `<input class="form-control">` and `<label>` elements in `.form-floating` to enable floating labels with Bootstrap's textual form fields. A `placeholder` is required on each `<input>` as our method of CSS-only floating labels uses the `:placeholder-shown` pseudo-element. Also note that the `<input>` must come first so we can utilize a sibling selector (e.g., `~`).
This approach works in the new Microsoft Edge built on Chromium and gracefully degrades on older versions.
{{< example >}}
<div class="form-floating mb-3">
<input type="email" class="form-control" id="floatingInput" placeholder="name@example.com">
<label for="floatingInput">Email address</label>
</div>
<div class="form-floating">
<input type="password" class="form-control" id="floatingPassword" placeholder="Password">
<label for="floatingPassword">Password</label>
</div>
{{< /example >}}
When there's a `value` already defined, `<label>`s will automatically adjust to their floated position.
{{< example >}}
<form class="form-floating">
<input type="email" class="form-control" id="floatingInputValue" placeholder="name@example.com" value="test@example.com">
<label for="floatingInputValue">Input with value</label>
</form>
{{< /example >}}
Form validation styles also work as expected.
{{< example >}}
<form class="form-floating">
<input type="email" class="form-control is-invalid" id="floatingInputInvalid" placeholder="name@example.com" value="test@example.com">
<label for="floatingInputInvalid">Invalid input</label>
</form>
{{< /example >}}
## Textareas
By default, `<textarea>`s with `.form-control` will be the same height as `<input>`s.
{{< example >}}
<div class="form-floating">
<textarea class="form-control" placeholder="Leave a comment here" id="floatingTextarea"></textarea>
<label for="floatingTextarea">Comments</label>
</div>
{{< /example >}}
To set a custom height on your `<textarea>`, do not use the `rows` attribute. Instead, set an explicit `height` (either inline or via custom CSS).
{{< example >}}
<div class="form-floating">
<textarea class="form-control" placeholder="Leave a comment here" id="floatingTextarea2" style="height: 100px"></textarea>
<label for="floatingTextarea2">Comments</label>
</div>
{{< /example >}}
## Selects
Other than `.form-control`, floating labels only available on `.form-select`s. They work in the same way, but unlike `<input>`s, they'll always show the `<label>` in its floated state.
{{< example >}}
<div class="form-floating">
<select class="form-select" id="floatingSelect" aria-label="Floating label select example">
<option selected>Open this select menu</option>
<option value="1">One</option>
<option value="2">Two</option>
<option value="3">Three</option>
</select>
<label for="floatingSelect">Works with selects</label>
</div>
{{< /example >}}
## Layout
When working with the Bootstrap grid system, be sure to place form elements within column classes.
{{< example >}}
<div class="row g-2">
<div class="col-md">
<div class="form-floating">
<input type="email" class="form-control" id="floatingInputGrid" placeholder="name@example.com" value="mdo@example.com">
<label for="floatingInputGrid">Email address</label>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-md">
<div class="form-floating">
<select class="form-select" id="floatingSelectGrid" aria-label="Floating label select example">
<option selected>Open this select menu</option>
<option value="1">One</option>
<option value="2">Two</option>
<option value="3">Three</option>
</select>
<label for="floatingSelectGrid">Works with selects</label>
</div>
</div>
</div>
{{< /example >}}
