Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-ui-3] caret-color animations, 'auto' and 'currentColor'

`getComputedStyle()` is not supposed to return the computed value for 
color properties, because that may break web compat, see 
w3c/csswg-drafts#566. In addition, there is currently no stable syntax
 to describe a color combined from numeric color and `currentcolor` in
 CSS.

This is a testcase for whether `currentcolor` is handled as a 
computed-value time keyword: 
http://software.hixie.ch/utilities/js/live-dom-viewer/?saved=4708

In this testcase, `color` is changing in the (paused) animation from 
`#ff0000` to `#0000ff`, while another color property is changing from 
`currentcolor` to `#00ff00`. You can see that
* Chrome shows two blocks both have color `rgb(64, 128, 64)`, which 
indicates that `currentcolor` is handled as computed-value time 
keyword.
* Firefox 50 as well as Safari shows two blocks with color `rgb(128, 
128, 0)` which means `currentcolor` becomes a numeric color at 
computed-value time.
* Firefox 52 shows one block with `rgb(128, 128, 0)` and the other 
`rgb(64, 128, 64)`, because that version of Firefox has supported 
computed-value time `currentcolor` for `border-color`, but not 
`background-color`.
