Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-grid-3] if using `display` we should provide examples for `inline grid-lanes`, and include the `inline-grid-lanes` legacy fallback (#10961)

Making these work:
```
display: inline-flex;
display: inline-grid;
display: inline flex;
display: inline grid;
display: inline grid-lanes;
```
and making this broken:
```
display: inline-grid-lanes
```

is not a good way to help developers understand what's happening. 

I understand the desire to push developers into two-value syntax. The two-value syntax is better. But convincing developers to use it needs to come from teaching resources and news that it exists. 

Just making `display: inline-grid-lanes` invalid is only going to confuse people. It's going to make them think Grid Lanes doesn't work as an inline container. That it has to be block.
