Increase form input font size to 16px

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Form inputs should have 16px font size or iOS will zoom the page so that the font would appear as if 16px. This zoom does not reverse once deselected

https://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/389464/form-elements-should-be-at-least-16px-font-size-to-prevent-mobile-browsers-from

Describe the solution you'd like
Text, TextArea and Select font sizes should be 16px

Describe alternatives you've considered
There are css fixes to raise the font size based on the device/capabilities but changing the default is preferable so all users see the same view. Blocking the user from being able to zoom, which is a trick to prevent iOS zooming, is considered a critical accessibility flaw

Additional context
For accessibility, the user should be able to zoom by at least 100%
"maximum-scale is a number which is 2 or more."

@adrian-reapit Can you raise this with the design team please? That font size is as per the Design System - would need them to re-think before we change anything

I'm not sure where this ticket has come from, because we hadn't completed notes on the text inputs. I've gone ahead and documented those now, and tagged you both in the file.

We don't have any inputs with 16px text. We have small, medium and large that need to be built - which have different sizes. I'll attach a screenshot here.

Thanks team!
