chore(ui,localizations,shared): Use distinct password placeholder for sign-up forms

[wobsoriano]

Summary

A customer reports that "Enter your password" on the sign-up continue form ("Fill in missing fields") is confusing. Users interpret it as entering an existing password rather than creating a new one.

This PR:

• Adds a new formFieldInputPlaceholder__signUpPassword localization key with "Create a password" wording
• Updates SignUpStart and SignUpContinue to use the new key instead of the shared formFieldInputPlaceholder__password ("Enter your password")
• Sign-in forms remain unchanged with "Enter your password"
• Adds placeholder assertions in SignUpStart, SignUpContinue, and SignInFactorOne tests

Resolves USER-4479

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This pull request introduces a distinct password placeholder for sign-up forms across the Clerk packages. A new localization key formFieldInputPlaceholder__signUpPassword with the value "Create a password" is added to the English localization resource. The localization resource type definition is extended to include this new field. The SignUpStart and SignUpContinue components are updated to use this new key instead of the generic password placeholder. Test files are updated with new assertions to verify the presence of the "Create a password" placeholder text in sign-up scenarios.
