[csswg-drafts] Suggestion: Rename 'Block container' to 'Flow container' (#11219)

gitspeaks has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts:

== Suggestion: Rename 'Block container' to 'Flow container' ==
The term "block" is used in various contexts, appearing in 10 different terms across the [glossary](https://www.w3.org/TR/css-display-3/#glossary). This creates cognitive overhead for readers.

In essence, a "block container" is an element where the flow layout (also known as block-and-inline layout) begins or resumes. This is consistent with the fact that an element functions as a "block container" when its [inner display](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-display/#the-display-properties) property is set to `flow` or `flow-root`.

Referring to a "block container" by its actual purpose—"flow container"—would greatly reduce this mental burden and improve clarity.
