Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-gaps-1] Bikeshedding rule-paint-order (#12540)

I'd argue that referring to the "order" of things is already common throughout CSS. We have [`order`](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-display/#order-property), which determines the paint order in addition to positioning items in a grid or flex container or [`position-try-order`](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-anchor-position-1/#position-try-order-property) in Anchor Positioning. We even have a [`paint-order` property in SVG](https://svgwg.org/svg2-draft/painting.html#PaintOrderProperty), while we have no property or value name referring to "overlap", as far as I know.

So I prefer keeping the current name.
