Danny White a31ca2bad0 fix(ui): make brand text readable across themes (#49871)
## What kind of change does this PR introduce?

Bug fix and design-system update. Resolves DEPR-316.

Follow-up rename (`text-brand` → `text-primary`) is in a dedicated PR
(https://github.com/supabase/supabase/pull/50564) stacked on this one.

## What is the current behavior?

`text-brand` resolves to the canonical bright brand green in places that
need readable text, which fails WCAG AA on light surfaces. A separate
`text-brand-display` token adds another green for large type.

## What is the new behavior?

- `text-brand` maps to accessible `--primary` (light mode darkened to
meet ~4.5:1 AA)
- `--hue` / `--primary-hue` aligned to 157.5
- `text-brand-display` removed; former display callsites use
`text-brand`
- Bright fills/borders stay on `brand-default`
- Design-system colour and typography docs updated

Supabase UI Patterns

This package should be used for components which are built using NPM libraries (react-markdown, reactflow for example), which make no sense to be included in all apps. It should also be used for components which are constructed using various components from the ui package.

This package does not have a barrel file - each component has to be imported from its index (ui-patterns/PrivacySettings, for example). This is intentional so that adding a new component which is used only in 1 or 2 apps doesn't burden the rest of the apps.
