Change floating label background-color to transparent

[Nickiam7]

Description

Floating labels have a background-color set to $input-bg. This can look odd if an input uses a browsers native autocomplete which adds a light blue background to the input. Additionally, if a sites design requires styling of input background colors the floating label will appear with the $input-bg color on top of the input background color.

Motivation & Context

Removes the need to manually override the floating label background color.

@theodorejb thanks for adding screenshots!

The background color was added to ensure labels were legible on multi-line inputs or textareas.

[theodorejb]

@mdo Is there an example where it improves legibility? It seems like the label background is only visible when an input is autofilled.

Here's an example where a solid background is useful:

[theodorejb]

@julien-deramond Ah, that is useful for when textarea contents are scrolled.

[Nickiam7]

Thanks for the context @mdo and thanks for the screenshots @julien-deramond! It does make sense for textareas, I def agree.

Does it makes sense to apply this fix to an input field of type password and email since those will almost always be single line inputs? Or I could just make a note how to adjust the css to fix this in the docs.

I don't think there was any particular reason we didn't special case this based on the HTML element. I'm down to see if we can scope the addition of the background-color to just the textarea. Want to take a crack?

I think this can be closed since #39720 was merged.

Yes you're right, thanks for pointing this out @theodorejb Thanks to all in this PR for the work 🙏, it has been handled slightly differently in https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/pull/39720
