Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-timing] Rename spec and wording to be more generic

This was split out of CSS transitions because it it used by CSS animations, CSS transitions, and Web Animations. CSS transitions should depend on Web Animations, not the other way around, and we might want to use this from non-animation related specs so I don't think CSS transitions is a good home for this.

In terms of naming, I like "CSS Easing". It's short and memorable. It might not be completely accurate as some might argue that a step timing function is not really "easing" in the narrow sense of the word but my experience is that a simple and memorable name is preferable to a longer or less memorable but academically accurate one (hence why we named the corresponding property in the Web Animations API `easing` instead of `timingFunction`โ€”and why we never should have renamed the CSS Motion Path module ๐Ÿ˜‰).
