Summary: `system-ui` is provided by modern browsers as [a cross-platform default font](https://caniuse.com/font-family-system-ui). Using this font [was a controversial choice back in 2017](https://infinnie.github.io/blog/2017/systemui.html). because it did not address i18n well and therefore it was removed from Bootstrap [twbs/bootstrap#22377](twbs/bootstrap#22377). However, it was added back in Bootstrap v5 [twbs/bootstrap#30561](twbs/bootstrap#30561) since it got better over time. Fixes T15049. Test Plan: Tested locally for now.
