Add a dark mode to the post title

[scruffian]

Description

Dark mode switches the placeholders to be a light color. This adds code so that post title placeholders also are light in dark mode.

This duplicates a chunk of code, so we might want to create a mixin.

How has this been tested?

• Add theme support for dark mode (add_theme_support( 'dark-editor-style' );)
• Switch to a theme that has dark mode
• Check that the post title placeholder is light

Thanks for fixing this. This works well in my testing, using the Gutenberg Starter Theme's dark mode option:

This duplicates a chunk of code, so we might want to create a mixin.

This would be good to try in a followup PR if you have the time. But I think what we have here is totally fine.
