Editor: Add support for text inputs to theme.json.

Adds support for text input elements to theme.json so that theme builders and extenders can be style text input elements consistently.

Text input elements are textarea, and input with type email, number, password, search, text, tel and url. We are targeting the HTML elements directly rather than adding a CSS class, as we do for other elements that theme.json supports. This commit adds no extra styling unless a theme opts in to use this and the specificity of any generated CSS with the element is 0.

See original Gutenberg PR: ​https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/70378.

Example usage:

	"elements": {
		"textInput": {
			"border": {
				"radius": "0",
				"style": "solid",
				"width": "1px",
				"color": "red"
			},
			"color": {
				"text": "var(--wp--preset--color--theme-2)"
			},
			"typography": {
				"fontFamily": "var(--wp--preset--font-family--inter)"
			}
		}
	}
