[css-transform] Define "containing block for all descendants"

Add a new definition "containing block for all descendants" and specify
that values other than 'none' on 'transform', 'transform-style',
'perspective' will cause an element to establish a containg block for
all descendants.

 For elements whose layout is governed by the CSS box model, any value other than ''transform/none'' for the transform results in the creation of a stacking context. Implementations must paint the layer it creates, within its parent stacking context, at the same stacking order that would be used if it were a positioned element with ‘z-index: 0’. If an element with a transform is positioned, the ‘z-index’ property applies as described in [[!CSS2]], except that ‘auto’ is treated as ‘0’ since a new stacking context is always created
 
-For elements whose layout is governed by the CSS box model, any value other than ''transform/none'' for the transform also causes the element to become a containing block, and the object acts as a containing block for fixed positioned descendants.
+For elements whose layout is governed by the CSS box model, any value other than ''transform/none'' for the transform also causes the element's padding box to form a containing block for all of its out-of-flow descendants, including both absolute-position and fixed-position descendants, and fixed background attachments on descendants and itself.
 
-Issue(913): Is this effect on ''position: fixed'' necessary? If so, need to go into more detail here about why fixed positioned objects should do this, i.e., that it's much harder to implement otherwise.

 <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/css3-background/#fixed0">Fixed backgrounds</a> on the root element are affected by any transform specified for that element. For all other elements that are effected by a transform (i.e. have a transform applied to them, or to any of their ancestor elements), a value of ''fixed'' for the 'background-attachment' property is treated as if it had a value of ''background-attachment/scroll''. The computed value of 'background-attachment' is not affected.
