Issue:
Unwanted stacking behavior on any variant named "dark" since 1.8 even if not the experimental darkModeVariant
### Describe the problem:

If you create `dark` and `anything` variants through plugins like this:
```js
plugins: [
    plugin(function ({ addVariant, e }) {
        // Will get (potentially unwanted) stacking behavior
        addVariant('dark', ({ modifySelectors, separator }) => {
            modifySelectors(({ className }) => {
                return `.custom-dark .${e(`dark${separator}${className}`)}`
            })
        });

        // Will NOT get stacking behavior
        addVariant('anything', ({ modifySelectors, separator }) => {
            modifySelectors(({ className }) => {
                return `.anything .${e(`anything${separator}${className}`)}`
            })
        });
    }),
],
```

and have a variants list like this:
```js
variants: {
    textColor: ["dark", "anything", "hover"]
},
```

The current (Tailwind CSS 1.8.9) resulting CSS is:
```css
.text-red {
  color: #FF0000
}

.anything .anything\:text-red {
  color: #FF0000
}

.hover\:text-red:hover {
  color: #FF0000
}

.custom-dark .dark\:text-red {
  color: #FF0000
}

.custom-dark .dark\:anything\:text-red {
  color: #FF0000
}

.custom-dark .dark\:hover\:text-red {
  color: #FF0000
}
```

Notice that `dark` is stacking with the other variants, and because of this it's been pushed to the end of the CSS. This is despite being listed first in the list of `variants` for `textColor`. The only reason `dark` is doing this but `anything` is not is because of the name `dark`, which is taking on the stacking behavior of the upcoming (experimental) `darkModeVariant`.

The CSS I would expect (same as 1.7 and probably many versions earlier):
```css
.text-red {
  color: #FF0000
}

.custom-dark .dark\:text-red {
  color: #FF0000
}

.anything .anything\:text-red {
  color: #FF0000
}

.hover\:text-red:hover {
  color: #FF0000
}
```

I think this should be classified as a bug because what was supposed to be contained under the experimental `darkModeVariant` flag has leaked out and become a breaking change.

### Link to a minimal reproduction:

See [the `tailwindcss-dark-variant-repro` repository I've created here](https://github.com/JakeNavith/tailwindcss-dark-variant-repro). The README restates some of the above and includes my possible diagnosis / solution (which are omitted from this issue because it won't fit the issue template).

**Edit: Pull request #2380 will solve this.**

🙏 Thank you.

Pull request:
Allow variant plugins to tell Tailwind they should stack
This PR makes it possible for variants to tell Tailwind they should "stack" using a new `unstable_stack` option, passed in through an options object to the `addVariant` function exposed through the plugin API:

```js
tailwind.plugin(function({ addVariant }) {
  addVariant('motion-safe', ({ modifySelectors }) => {
    // ...
  }, { unstable_stack: true })
})
```

This ensures that if a user overrides a default variant by registering their own variant with the same name, that the user's variant does not automatically inherit the hard-coded stacking behavior of the built-in variant.

Marking it as unstable for now as I'm not sure this is going to be the best approach to a public stacking API going forward but it's fine for our internal use and solves the problem.

Resolves #2378.
