Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-grid-3] Renaming `masonry` keyword (#9733)

For the proposal of replacing metaphor to the term.

In the [article](https://webkit.org/blog/15269/help-us-invent-masonry-layouts-for-css-grid-level-3/) from the WebKit team it's mentioned that in graphic design there are grid types like Modular Grids and Columnar Grids. Currently the `grid` in web implements Modular Grids, while `masonry` for columns is Columnar Grid.

The property or value `grid-columnar` wouldn't be suitable for the web, as it only describes a single axis. It would be convenient to use an existing term rather than invent a new one, however, as far as I understand, there is no term in design that encompasses both vertical and horizontal Columnar Grids. I haven't been able to find such a term, so if you know one, share.
