Workaround Chrome rendering bug for skew-* utilities (#17627 )

Closes #17621

Chrome as a pretty ugly rendering glitch when using a `skew-*` utility
in Tailwind 4: https://play.tailwindcss.com/HuiZtbrHOc

The was not an issue in v3 since transforms were set up in a different
way. Without the `var(…)` syntax, the difference boils down to this:

```css
.skew-v3 {
  transform: rotate(0) skewX(-20deg);
}

.skew-v4 {
  transform: rotateX(0) rotateY(0) rotateZ(0) skewX(-20deg);
}
```

It appears that using any of the single-dimension rotate functions will
cause the Chrome rendering to glitch.

After doing some digging, we found [that initially these `@property`s
were defined as type `<transform-function>` and later changed to
`*`](https://github.com/tailwindlabs/tailwindcss/issues/15144). With a
type of `*`, it makes sense that the initial value of these variables
can default to `initial` without any compromises, allowing us to default
to something like this now:

```css
.skew-new {
  transform: skewX(-20deg);
}
```

Tested this change in the latest version of Chrome (135) and it does
make the rendering glitch in the initial issue disappear. By using the
`var(--tw-rotate-x,)` syntax we also ensure this works on older versions
of Safari (tested on Safari 15.5 and 16.4).

Note, however, that there are still glitches happening when you combine
rotate and skew in the latest version of Chrome or when you transition
the `skew(…)` variable. This also happens in plain CSS with no variables
though, so there isn't something we can do about this:

## Test plan

- Tested on latest Chrome, Firefox, and Safari as well as Safari 15.5
and 16.4.
