animate `UiTransform::scale` instead of font size so it doesn't generate lots of font atlases.

Not sure why I had to change this, coercion suddenly isn't working?

Objective
The animated_ui example interpolates the font size of the animated text entity, which rapidly generates gigabytes of font atlases.
Also, on main the text isn't even visible (and it still generates infinity font atlases).
Fixes #22626, #22647
Solution
Spawn the text with its font size set to the maximum value from the old animation curve. Then scale the text by interpolating the
UiTransform::scalefield, instead of the font size.Testing
cargo run --example animated_uiThe text should be visible and the memory usage should be stable.
