This PR renames all of the --width-* variables to --container-* to better communicate the purpose of these tokens as layout container sizes. These are the values that were historically stored under maxWidth in the v3 and earlier eras, and were also re-used by the container queries plugin.

The name --container-* feels like a better match alongside the --breakpoint-* namespace and since these both serve that same sort of purpose it makes sense to me that the name should be optimized for feeling "right" in that context.

I like that this also sort of advertises Tailwind's support for container queries directly in the CSS variables themselves, and helps people understand what these are really intended to be used for.

Should this be just width? --max-width is still a namespace that is valid when used with the max-width helper but I think the intention is that the width namespace migrates to container by default?

Oh I see in v3 the max-w-* w-* and min-* utilities don't share a dimension :D never mind me
