Re: [fxtf-drafts] Clip backdrop root (input) image to border box of element (#342)

Here's a testcase which uses `drop-shadow()` in `backdrop-filter` in order to create a glow effect on the background: https://codepen.io/mstange/pen/dBvJRR

It's a bit hard to find appropriate uses for this because `drop-shadow` needs some variation in the input's alpha channel in order to do anything interesting, so you need a Backdrop Image which has some transparent parts, which you can only get if you trigger a non-root Backdrop Root, e.g. using opacity.

In this testcase the glow would look a bit better along the edges if the input was *not* clipped to the element's border box, and if the shadow blur could actually sample from a Backdrop Image that extends beyond the border box. But it's hard to notice the difference.
