Description
### Reproduction
[Open this StackBlitz](https://stackblitz.com/edit/components-issue-8gvvrn?file=src/app/example-component.html) and toggle the Disabled state with the checkbox.
### Expected Behavior
Per [the Text Field spec](https://material.io/components/text-fields#outlined-text-field), under "Outlined text field with suffix text", a suffix in a disabled text field should use the same font (weight / color / opacity) as the wrapped input element.

(In the image from the spec, "55" is the input text and "/100" is the suffix.)
### Actual Behavior
The input text is light gray, to indicate that the input is disabled, but the suffix styling does not change, so it doesn't match the input text.
### Environment
- Angular: 11.1
- CDK/Material: 11.1
- Browser(s): Chrome
- Operating System (e.g. Windows, macOS, Ubuntu): Windows
### Note
I also see that in all the suffix examples where the input is *not* disabled, the suffix is styled slightly lighter than the input text. As you can see in the StackBlitz, the default suffix is exactly the same as the input text. The spec doesn't explicitly require this, as far as I can see, so maybe it's just a suggestion?

Research direction
Use the linked StackBlitz reproduction, starting with src/app/example-component.html, and toggle the checkbox to compare the disabled input and suffix. Trace the mat-form-field suffix styling and verify that the suffix matches the disabled input’s font weight, color, and opacity while preserving the non-disabled behavior.
