The legacy form field appearance has a feature where it promotes the input placeholder to the form field label which introduces a problem where screen readers will read out the placeholder twice. Some time ago we added logic to clear the placeholder, but it seems to be a bit too aggressive since it also clears the placeholder for other appearances.

These changes scope the workaround only to the case when a placeholder would be promoted to a label.

Fixes #20903.
