bug: ion-input new v7 errorText displayed right away

• I agree to follow the Code of Conduct.
• I have searched for existing issues that already report this problem, without success.

Ionic Framework Version

v7.x

Current Behavior

v7 introduced errorText property to <ion-input>. But if the input has the required attribute, which is one of the most basic and common control, the errorText will be displayed right away when the form is displayed. This is problematic for several reason:

• it's bad UX (we should not annoy the user right away, only once the user touched the input and moved to another one)
• it's inconsistent with the visual behavior: on first display, the CSS is normal, and it turns red only if the input is invalid and touched and the user has moved to another input, as expected
• it ruins all the new simpler <ion-input> behavior introduced in v7, as it forces to add back a <ion-item> with <ion-note slot="error" *ngIf="emailControl.invalid && emailControl.dirty"> (assuming it's still possible, which is not even sure, it doesn't work in v7 in my application anymore, probably because you can't mix the 2 systems)

Expected Behavior

<ion-input> errorText should behave like CSS, ie. be displayed only when the input is invalid and touched and moved away to another input.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Add a <ion-input type="text" label="text" name="hello" required errorText="Error" [(ngModel)]="hello">

(sorry I tried to do a stackblitz but I couldn't make it work with ionic v7 and I have no more time to create a full github repo)

(Another solution would be to introduce a new property, like errorTextTrigger with values like touched, dirty...).

Thanks for the issue. This has been resolved via #26940, and a fix will be available in an upcoming release of Ionic Framework.
