Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-align-3][css-position-3] How should safe alignment work for OOF elements when positioned statically? (#11934)

I've noticed that if the parent element doesn't have `position: relative` set, Blink behaves differently from other browsers. Is this expected?

```html
data:text/html;charset=UTF-8,<!DOCTYPE html>
<style>
  .box {
    font: 16px sans-serif;
    border: 1px solid red;
    margin: 100px;
    width: 300px;
    display: flex;
    /*position: relative;*/
}
  .test {
    background-color: lightblue;
    position: absolute;
    height: 50px;
    border: 1px solid;
    white-space: nowrap;
    width: 200px;
  }
</style>
<div class="box">
  <div class="test" style="align-self: safe center;">align-self: safe center</div>
</div>

<div class="box">
  <div class="test" style="align-self: unsafe center;">align-self: unsafe center</div>
</div>
```
