[csswg-drafts] [css-testing] Normalize linking to CSS properties

== [css-testing] Normalize linking to CSS properties ==
In reviewing the flex test suite I found that there are numerous tests that are testing the same thing but linking to different aspects of the spec. I would like to normalize these, and recommend that tests in the future ensure that they link to the same location based on our decision here. Let me provide an example:

    propdef-flex-basis: 9 tests
    flex-basis-property: 10 tests

In talking with @gsnedders there is a desire to improve understanding test -> spec coverage, which my [node module](https://www.npmjs.com/package/wptcoverage) is trying to achieve. It would be really nice if most tests are linking to the sections linked in the TOC, and only going into sub anchors where necessary.

I say all that to say that my recommendation is to link to `flex-basis-property` rather than the `propdef`. That said I don't have a really strong opinion on this, as since we do have a desire to move to more test driven spec writing, we'll need to look at the spec for tests that link to `should` & `must` statements within the spec. But I need us to agree on something so that we can make the tests match and thus the counts accurate.
