[csswg-drafts] [css-gcpm-3] clarify nature of running elements (#4788)

dauwhe has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts:

== [css-gcpm-3] clarify nature of running elements ==

The [spec says](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-gcpm-3/#running-syntax):

> position: running(custom-ident) removes the element (and associated ::before and ::after pseudo-elements) from the normal flow, and makes it available to place in a page margin box using element(). The element inherits from its original position in the document, but does not display there.

Why do we refer to "the normal flow"? What happens if the element is `display:none` or a float or a grid item? 

We should also be clearer that only properties that apply in the margin context actually work here.
