Closes#17194
This PR works around a crash when rendering opacity on `currentColor`
(as used by the placeholder styles in preflight) on Safari 16.4 and
Safari 16.5. Unfortunately it seems that the [`color-mix(…)` function is
not compatible with `currentColor` for these versions of
Safari](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/76436497/the-color-mix-property-involving-currentcolor-causes-safari-to-crash).
We tried a few different ways to work around this without success:
- Using an `@supports` media query to target these Safari versions and
overwriting the placeholder still makes these browsers crash.
- Changing the way we apply opacity to `currentColor` in core doesn't
seem to work for non-placeholder values:

However, a wrong opacity is still better than a complete browser crash.
The work-around of using the `oklab(…)` function does seem to work for
`::placeholder` styles in preflight though according to our testing so
this PR applies this change to preflight.
## Test plan
- See https://play.tailwindcss.com/WSsSTLHu8h?file=css
- Tested on Chrome/Safari 16.4/Safari 18.3/Firefox
