Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-grid-3] Masonry Switch Syntax (#12022)

I'm still not convinced that we really have to use the term "grid" for this, even when it shares concepts with Grid Layout, but here we are.

From the named suggestions _with_ "grid" in their name, I prefer `masonry-grid`, `packed-grid`, `stacked-grid`, `compact-grid`, and `flex-grid`.

For what it's worth, I also [asked ChatGPT to come up with names](https://chatgpt.com/share/68e3a976-b088-8011-94f5-55b4a02011de). Interestingly, it first responded that CSS already has the concept of "Masonry Layout". When I asked it to ignore that there's already a term coined for it, its response was pretty similar to what was already suggested earlier. For reference, the terms it came up with were `packed-grid`, `flow-grid`, `compact-grid`, `autostack`, `dense-grid`, `cascade`, `brick-grid`, `column-flow`, `stackflow`, and `tiled-flow`.
