Description

Add a "Constituent properties" section to the background-repeat page linking to background-repeat-x and background-repeat-y.

Note

I added a warning because from my understanding background-repeat-x and background-repeat-y were only ever supported in Safari from versions 5 to 10.1 and I couldn't find any statement about intent to implement it in any major browser. See discussion in #43512 for more info.
As this is time sensitive information I tried to phrase it in the most general way.
Of course feel free to rephrase, edit or remove this warning as you see fit.

Motivation

A CSS property being a shorthand for other properties is interesting information.

Additional details

The background-repeat-x and background-repeat-y pages were added in #42184.
