Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-easing-2] Bikeshed function name for custom easings (#7419)

I think `lerpsequence` [suggested by @paullewis on Twitter](https://twitter.com/aerotwist/status/1541397440342941696) accurately captures the concept: It's a linear interpolation between a sequence of points.

Also `lerpsequence` instead of `lerp` avoids using a general term for a very animation-specific function. 

Even though `lerp` is commonly used in computer graphics I myself (no cg background) found the term quite to be unintuitive at times. So alternatively `linearsequence` could be used if the term lerp should be avoided.
The term lerp is used nowhere on [MDN](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/search?q=lerp) nor [whatwg.org](https://www.google.com/search?q=%22lerp%22+site%3Awhatwg.org) and nor [w3.org](https://www.google.com/search?q=lerp+site%3Aw3c.org) suggesting it's not part of "web vocabulary".
