feat(mdInput): Add support for both labels and placeholders.

Previously, if a user supplied both a placeholder and a label,
the label would float on top of the placeholder when the input
did not have a value.

Fix by adding styles/code to support both at the same time.

**Note:** If the users provides both a label and a placeholder,
the label will no longer animate.

Also fix input styles so transition does not happen if input
already has a value to avoid unneccessary and eratic-looking
animations.

Fixes #4462. Fixes #4258.
