Re: [csswg-drafts] Add background-rotate property that we just have to rotate the background without affecting the text and only one layer (#3183)

#4706 was analogous, it proposed a `background-filter` property, but it was rejected in favor of `filter()`.

For consistency, maybe CSS Transforms should define a `transform()` or `rotate()` function that can be used anywhere an `<image>` is expected, rather than adding more `background-*` properties. Like

```css
background-image: transform(url(background.jpg), rotate(180deg));
```

This would allow to transform images not just for backgrounds but also for things like border images or maybe cursors.
