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

Easing, though, and is a cross-industry standard term from motion design to
studio animation, used wherever rates of visual change over time need
describing. People using JS animation libraries use this term. I don't see
why we should confuse them with yet another word for something they grok
already. I'd keep "timing functions" over adopting "progression" or such.
