Enhance Input Component: Add Resizable TextArea with Auto-Grow and Scroll Support

[Copilot]

This PR implements a comprehensive textarea resize enhancement for the Input component, adding three key features to improve user experience when working with text areas.

This code was developed by GitHub Coding Agent

There are also this PR with the same purpose, that was made by GitHub Copilot Agent but with access to Figma MCP:
#1046

We must compare each one and go with the best solution. The agent that used the Figma probably have better matching with Figma design.

🎯 Features Added

1. Auto-Grow Functionality

• Textarea automatically adjusts height as users type
• Smooth 0.2s ease transition for height changes
• Maintains minimum height of ~2 lines (38px)
• Works with both user input and programmatic value changes

2. Manual Resize Support

• Enables vertical resize handle when resizable={true}
• Users can drag the bottom-right corner to adjust height
• Respects CSS min-height constraints for consistent UX

3. Max Height with Scroll

• When content exceeds maxHeight, vertical scrollbar appears
• Supports multiple units: '300px', '10em', or numeric values
• Seamless transition between auto-grow and scroll states

🔧 New Props

Property	Type	Default	Description
resizable	boolean	false	Enables manual textarea resize (vertical only)
autoGrow	boolean	false	Enables automatic height adjustment based on content
maxHeight	string	undefined	Sets maximum height with scroll when exceeded

💡 Usage Examples

<!-- Auto-growing textarea -->
<bds-input 
  is-textarea="true"
  auto-grow="true"
  label="Auto-growing Text Area"
  placeholder="Type here... grows automatically">
</bds-input>

<!-- Auto-grow with max height -->
<bds-input 
  is-textarea="true"
  auto-grow="true"
  max-height="150px"
  label="Limited Height"
  placeholder="Grows until 150px, then scrolls">
</bds-input>

<!-- Manual resizable -->
<bds-input 
  is-textarea="true"
  resizable="true"
  rows="3"
  label="Manual Resizable"
  placeholder="Drag corner to resize">
</bds-input>

🧠 Smart Behavior

• Conflict Resolution: When both autoGrow and resizable are enabled, auto-grow takes priority
• Performance: Uses requestAnimationFrame for smooth updates
• Edge Cases: maxHeight only applies when autoGrow is enabled
• Lifecycle Integration: Works with Stencil component updates and watchers

🎨 CSS Enhancements

• Added .input__container__text--resizable class for manual resize styling
• Added .input__container__text--auto-grow class for auto-grow behavior
• Proper transition handling and overflow management
• Maintains backward compatibility with existing textarea functionality

✅ Testing

• Comprehensive test suite covering all functionality
• Validated auto-grow calculations and height parsing
• Tested edge cases and conflict resolution scenarios
• All 8 test cases passing successfully

This implementation provides the intuitive and flexible text input experience requested in the issue, eliminating the feeling of limited space and reducing premature scrolling while offering users control over their input area size.

Fixes #1036.

Fixed the TypeScript compilation errors by updating the nativeInput property type to support both HTMLInputElement | HTMLTextAreaElement and adding proper type guards to eliminate unsafe type casting. All occurrences of as HTMLTextAreaElement have been replaced with proper type checking using the isTextareaElement() method. Commit: b1fba4b

Fixed the SCSS syntax error by replacing invalid &--auto-grow&--resizable with proper compound selector &--auto-grow.input__container__text--resizable. This generates the correct CSS to target elements with both classes. Commit: e6015d8
