Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-fonts] bikeshedding name of `size-adjust` descriptor (#6114)

I quite like the name `size-adjust`, since it's a good description both of what it does and why it exists. I'm a bit less happy about `font-size-adjust` to be honest, I think it's quite confusing, not at all obvious what its numerical value means.

I'll also note that, if at some point we want to have a property value that does this kind of size adjustment, expanding into `font-size-adjust` would be possible and appropriate. In fact, prior to this work on descriptors, I'd often thought about adding a percentage list value to `font-size-adjust`, to pair off explicit size adjustments to font-family values...

`glyph-scale-factor` doesn't have quite the same connotation of scaling the whole font (glyphs and metrics, all). And using `size` rather than `scale` is more consistent with `font-size`, whose used value we're effectively adjusting.
