Re: [csswg-drafts] [selectors-4] Add pseudo-class to establish before-change style for css-transitions on new elements. (#8174)

As discussed at the meeting yesterday, let's try to resolve on the name for this. There were a lot of options so I'll group them by theme and give suggested voting emoji for each if you want to vote on it with emoji reactions. Voting is not intended to decide the name but just inform the discussion.

I've intentionally left a few options off since I think we've come up with good reasons not to use them:
`@initial`: short, but easily confused with `initial` property values https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/8174#issuecomment-1464728448)
`@before-change`: specific to spec term, but still confusing since it suggests it replaces actual before-change style

Generic names suggesting the style before other styles apply:
😄 `@initial-style`: intended to reduce confusion with above
🎉 `@initial-state`: similar to above
❤️ `@starting-style`: avoids overlap with initial

Specific to [before-change](https://www.w3.org/TR/css-transitions-1/#before-change-style) style being set:
🚀 `@initial-before-change`: a more specific version of `@before-change` to avoid confusion
