Use mask-based fade-out effect for .new-menu (#27181) (#27243)

Backport #27181 by @silverwind

The `.new-menu` was using a pseudo-element based fade-out effect.
Replace this with a more modern mask-based effect which in this case
required a child element to avoid fading out the background as well, so
I applied it to child `new-menu-inner` which was present on all these
menus except explore where I added it.

There is no visual difference except that the items on the explore page
have no `gap` between them any longer, making it consistent with other
menus. Before and after:

Also, this cleans up the related CSS vars:

- `--color-header-wrapper-transparent` is removed, no longer needed
- `--color-header-wrapper` is defined in base theme as well, was
previously unset and therefor transparent.
