Re: [w3ctag/design-reviews] Other Spec Review: Single-Axis Scroll Containers (Issue #1222)

Thanks @lukewarlow. The breaking change is limited to the case where `clip` on one axis is combined with a scrollable overflow value on the other (for example, `overflow: scroll clip`). With single-axis scroll containers, [the `clip` value is now preserved instead of being converted to `hidden`](https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/12289). Since `clip` is an explicit opt-out of scrolling for that axis, we expect compatibility issues to be rare.

We added a use counter to track this: [SingleAxisScroller](https://chromestatus.com/metrics/feature/timeline/popularity/5862)

Also, updated the [web compatibility section of the explainer](https://github.com/explainers-by-googlers/single-axis-scroll-containers/tree/main#web-compatibility) to include this information.
