Fix the checked checkbox appearing as a blank filled box in dark themes. The checkmark now uses the `colorPrimaryForeground` theme color, so it stays legible against the checkbox background across light, dark, and custom themes.

/**
 * Checkmark shape for a checked checkbox, used as a CSS mask rather than a tinted
 * background-image. Only the shape's alpha matters here; the visible checkmark color
 * comes from `backgroundColor` on the masked element, which lets it reference the
 * `colorPrimaryForeground` theme token (a CSS variable / `light-dark()` value would
 * not resolve if it were baked into the SVG fill).
