Keep the carousel label white over its scrim

The scrim is --md-sys-color-scrim, black in every scheme, theme and contrast level,
so the ink over it is the absolute the theme keeps rather than inverse-on-surface,
which is dark in a dark scheme (containment C-25, revisited).

fades its label chip in once the mask is wide enough to hold it. The scrim is what M3 asks
for under text on an image; the text itself is `inverse-on-surface`, a role a scheme and a
contrast profile follow, rather than a literal white.
