Issue number: internal

---------

<!-- Please do not submit updates to dependencies unless it fixes an
issue. -->

<!-- Please try to limit your pull request to one type (bugfix, feature,
etc). Submit multiple pull requests if needed. -->

## What is the current behavior?
<!-- Please describe the current behavior that you are modifying. -->

The safe area variables are only reliant on `env` variables that are
provided by devices.

## What is the new behavior?
<!-- Please describe the behavior or changes that are being added by
this PR. -->

Capacitor 8 has released [safe area variable
fallbacks](https://capacitorjs.com/docs/apis/system-bars#android-note)
to provide consistent behaviors with older Android devices:

> Due to a [bug](https://issues.chromium.org/issues/40699457) in some
older versions of Android WebView (< 140), correct safe area values are
not available via the safe-area-inset-x CSS env variables. This plugin
will inject the correct inset values into a new CSS variable(s) named
--safe-area-inset-x that you can use as a fallback in your frontend
styles.

- Updated safe area variables to use the fallbacks provided by
Capacitor.
