Re: [w3c/webcomponents] Change 'CSS Modules' name to avoid webdev confusion (#843)

ES modules, JSON modules, and these new CSS module scripts are called "module scripts" because they are a "type of script" in the specification's sense. https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#concept-script

Note that when importing CSS in JS, you get back a scriptable object; the polyfill for CSS module scripts literally transforms the CSS into `CSSStyleSheet` in JS, and exports the result.

So, yeah, I don't think we would have picked "CSS module scripts" as a name if "CSS modules" hadn't come first, but this is an excellent compromise in light of what came before.
