Description

### What would you want to propose?

Spec: https://drafts.csswg.org/css-values-5/#if-notation
This is the draft for a standard conditional selector.
There is a plugin that does similar thing called postcss-conditional-values, it could either be modified to support new experimental syntax, or a new plugin could be made partly based on it.
Would be nice to have a polyfill for this in the future with the standard syntax.

### Suggested solution

Spec allows media queries, and overall it is differs from postcss-conditional-values in a number of ways, so a new plugin is probably better.

Spec allows stuff like this:
```css
.valid-if {
--if-clause: media(width >= 600px): blue;
color: if(...var(--if-clause); else: green;);
}
```
I don't think is something that can be polyfilled

### Additional context

Overall this is more of a different syntax for queries, and doesn't replace postcss-conditional-values.

This request is related to https://github.com/csstools/postcss-plugins/issues/134 for some part.
