Fail-safe date and language visibility if High Contrast is set

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
With several images being bright, release dates and language are not visible - let's make sure we take care of High Contrast.

Describe the solution you'd like
When in High Contrast mode we should make could put a subtle background color to make sure there is a contrast.

Affected Component
CourseListViewController

I totally agree! The gradient on the bottom of the image does not always work so well. But I also think that this problem is not restricted to the high contrast mode. We should make sure that the text is readable all the time.

To be honest, I don't have a good looking solution for this yet. The options I see are the following:

• Remove the date and language label from the CourseCell
  • Here the user loses essential information, doesn't he?
• Move the date and language label below the image
  • With this option, we would increase the height of the CourseCell even more.
• Move the label in a UIVisualEffectView
  • This might look a bit strange

Some things we check before moving on:

• How does Apple handle this issue in its image-based apps? What are other big players doing?
• Should the layout of the CourseCell differ for the usage on the dashboard and the course list?
• Does the Android app show the course date and language in the course list? @tobiasrohloff
  • The web application does display these values in the course list
