Improve performance of @tailwindcss/postcss and @tailwindcss/vite (#15226)
This PR improves the performance of the `@tailwindcss/postcss` and
`@tailwindcss/vite` implementations.

The issue is that in some scenarios, if you have multiple `.css` files,
then all of the CSS files are ran through the Tailwind CSS compiler. The
issue with this is that in a lot of cases, the CSS files aren't even
related to Tailwind CSS at all.

E.g.: in a Next.js project, if you use the `next/font/local` tool, then
every font you used will be in a separate CSS file. This means that we
run Tailwind CSS in all these files as well.

That said, running Tailwind CSS on these files isn't the end of the
world because we still need to handle `@import` in case `@tailwind
utilities` is being used. However, we also run the auto source detection
logic for every CSS file in the system. This part is bad.

To solve this, this PR introduces an internal `features` to collect what
CSS features are used throughout the system (`@import`, `@plugin`,
`@apply`, `@tailwind utilities`, etc…)

The `@tailwindcss/postcss` and `@tailwindcss/vite` plugin can use that
information to decide if they can take some shortcuts or not.

---

Overall, this means that we don't run the slow parts of Tailwind CSS if
we don't need to.
