Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-color-adjust-1] more granular overriding of forced colors mode than per-element (#4178)

@tabatkins I combed through the list of bugs reported in Microsoft Edge that are related to this issue, and the majority could be resolved by the most recent proposal (ie. don't override system color in forced colors mode).

There were a few example sites that I came across that would require specific colors other than system colors.
1. Bing Maps, for example, requires non-system colors to ensure the map is still readable in forced colors mode. However, because the entire map is being adjusted by the author, `forced-color-adjust: none` already works great in this case.
2. The map on the right of [this Wikipedia article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_swift) has a legend that becomes unreadable in forced colors mode. In this case, using system colors would be insufficient.
3. Color options for products (ex. choosing a [color for a laptop](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/configure/Surface-Laptop-3/8VFGGH1R94TM?crosssellid=drawer2&selectedColor=CBB1A0&preview=&previewModes=)) can become unusable in forced colors mode and would require non-system colors.

Although these examples would require non-system colors to maintain usability, I could easily see applying `forced-color-adjust: none` as a resolution in these specific cases. Perhaps @atanassov knows of additional examples, though, where this wouldn't be the case?
