Re: [csswg-drafts] [scroll-animations-1] Explicit `auto` for `animation-duration` in the `animation` shorthand. (#8656)

I suggested to accept `auto` for `animation-duration` in a value for `animation` because `auto` can be declared for `animation-duration`. 

As far as I know, `font` is the only other shorthand serialized as empty string because its syntax intentionally does not accept some values accepted in the syntax of a sub-property (`font-stretch` and `font-variant`). I do not know the historical reasons for this.

I do not really have a problem with serializing `animation` omitting the initial value of `animation-duration`. 

  > Furthermore, when serializing, default values of other properties must be output in at least the cases necessary to distinguish an `animation-name` that could be a value of another property, and may be output in additional cases.

Even if the author declared `animation-name: auto; animation-duration: auto; /* ...other animation longhand declarations */`, the declared value of `animation-duration` must not be output.

For authors, this would be the only sub-property of `animation` that they cannot declare explicitly.
