Re: [csswg-drafts] Alternate masonry path forward (#9041)

I've [never been a fan of including masonry in grid layout](https://rachelandrew.co.uk/archives/2020/05/05/does-masonry-belong-in-the-css-grid-specification/). Mostly because we'd forever more be having to figure out how new grid stuff works with Masonry layout, which will always be a bit weird because a masonry layout is different to a grid layout. 

The current spec makes masonry layouts do a whole bunch of extra things that I've not seen authors ask for, mostly because "why not?" once it's all bundled into grid. Without compelling use cases for these features, it feels as if we'd be adding future problems of needing to work round masonry for grid additions, plus making to harder to add masonry specific things.

I think this proposal achieves the things people want out of masonry, and avoids these pitfalls.
