Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-backgrounds-4] Decide on name for shorthand covering everything `background-*` except `background-color` (#9083)

I still slightly prefer the initially suggested `background-layer` over the others. Though I am ok with `background-overlay`.

I am ruling out some for myself here, which I think don't fit well.

* `background-pattern` While "pattern" indicates that the solid color is excluded, it somewhat sounds like it allows creating simple patterns and not to the images.
* `background-sheet`
* `background-screen` "screen" refers to the monitor in virtually all contexts, not to a layer.
* `background-cover` "cover" rather has a meaning of a single thing, like a book cover, not of multiple layers.
* `background-slice` We already have `border-image-slice` which refers to slicing an image. So "slice" here may rather confuse authors.
* `background-image-stack` This conveys the idea of different image layers, though it looks like a longhand of `background-image` while it actually is a _shorthand_ for it and the other `background-*` properties.
* `background-media` "media" sounds like it covers images, videos and other types of media.
* `background-image-list` Same reason as with `background-image-stack`.
* `background-image-layer` Same reason as with `background-image-stack`.
