Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-flexbox] `align-content: stretch` for abspos children of flex containers should align with browser behavior. (#7596)

I'm in support of removing any effect of the *-content properties on positioned elements. *-content is a property controlling the *container's* layout; positioned elements don't lay out in the container in the first place. While the static position of a positioned element is meant to reflect, to a reasonable extent, "where the element would lay out if it wasn't positioned", in flexbox we already break from that a decent bit and instead pretend it's a lone element (as flexbox layout is too interdependent to *actually* do such hypothetical layout).

We've also tried to break more from this dependent model in Position, and anything in support of that would be good. We've delayed on editting Flexbox's definition of staticpos until we had a better idea of the compat impact of the Alignment/Position changes, but if we're making this break official (and tested) we should get all the verbiage aligned.
