New pages: CSS background-repeat x and y

[estelle]

According to BCD, these properties are supported in Safari since version 5, so adding them.

Safari 5 through 10.1 supported this value.
I am not seeing support when testing 11.1 to current.

@estelle reviewed. It's a strange set of properties to spend time on now, given that they don't seem to be supported anywhere. Since they are not marked as deprecated and are in the L4 spec, is the intention to bring them back someday?

I've just checked, and the links seem to be added to the CSS backgrounds and borders module page already, so all good there.

I've not tested this as it doesn't work on any browser I have available. I'm assuming it works.

It looks like this is a repeat of the previous page, with "horizontal" references changed to "vertical". Therefore, my earlier comments should apply here as well.
