add postcss rule to transform px to rem

Warren Gifford requested to merge font-size-settings into main

Overview

Currently, 94 .scss files on our codebase are using px as the unit of measurement. The px units do not scale according to the width of the browser window. Our focus is to convert all those px to their rem equivalent.

This approach uses a postCSS plugin that replaces those px to the equivalent rem value on compile time.
