The spec edits are in: https://drafts.csswg.org/css-values-5/#ident

There still is the open issue of https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/11424 which I would like to resolve on soon (at the upcoming CSSWG F2F, preferably).

This patch implements the most foundational part of the ident() function, enabling ident() in view-transition-name (which is covered by ident-function-parsing/computed WPT) for now.
