Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-fonts-4] Naming font-technology() supports function (#6791)

> we resolved to add, roughly speaking, a technology() function to the src descriptor

Defined in CSS Fonts 4: [11.1. Font technologies](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-fonts-4/#font-technology-definitions) and used in CSS Fonts 4: [4.3.1. Parsing the src descriptor](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-fonts-4/#font-face-src-parsing)

>and an equivalent font-technology() function to `@supports`

Defined in CSS Conditional 4: [2. Extensions to the @supports rule](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-conditional-4/#at-supports-ext) which links to the definitions in CSS Fonts 4

> We also resolved to open a bikeshedding issue to see if there's a better name for the function

For the record, I think those names are _just fine_. In the context of `src` in `@font-face` there is no need for the `font-` prefix while in the general `@supports` there is; that difference aside, they should be exactly the same, which they currently are. `tech` is tempting, and I could live with it, but `technology` is probably better.
