Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-anchor-position-1] Reusing the implicit anchor name on the nested elements (#8913)

I think it makes more sense for pseudo elements to inherit their parents implicit target, than to implicitly have their parent as target. But either way there need to be a simple way for developers to achieve the non default case.

* if pseudo elements get their parents as implicit anchor, maybe we could have a `position-anchor: inherit-implicit`
* if, as it was before, the pseudo elements inherit their parents implicit anchor, maybe there could be a `position-anchor: parent`

Both of these could be useful for other elements too, for any child element to inherit from the parent element or point to the parent element.
