Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-anchor-position-1] Document the reason for excluding base styles from `position-try-order` (#9946)

As I understand it from chatting with Tab just now: the rough reasoning here is a generalization of how e.g. dropdown-menus work, where they typically default to going downwards as the preferred-direction, regardless of available space, and they stick with that direction until they don't fit.  Only then do they consider the fallback options (which in the case of dropdown menus would be the single option of going upwards instead of downwards), and that's the point at which we might sort among the fallback options to pick `most-width | most-height` one.
