LibWeb: Mark relevant properties as "positional-value-list-shorthands"

Some shorthand properties work differently to normal in that mapping of
provided values to longhands isn't necessarily 1-to-1 and depends on the
number of values provided, for example `margin`, `border-width`, `gap`,
etc.

These properties have distinct behaviors in how they are parsed and
serialized, having them marked allows us to implement theses behaviors
in a generic way.

No functionality changes.

### `positional-value-list-shorthand`
Some shorthand properties work differently to normal in that mapping of provided values to longhands isn't necessarily
1-to-1 and instead depends on the number of values provided, for example `margin`, `border-width`, `gap`, etc.
These properties have distinct behaviors in how they are parsed and serialized, having them marked allows us to
implement this behavior in a generic way.
### `quirks`
The [Quirks spec](https://quirks.spec.whatwg.org/#css) defines these.
