[csswg-drafts] Pull Request: [css-multicol] Revert part of a change about formatting contexts

frivoal has just submitted a new pull request for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts:

== [css-multicol] Revert part of a change about formatting contexts ==
Stating that the element establishes a new formatting context, without
saying what kind of formatting context it needs to establish is not
specific enough. Also, saying that it must establish a "new" formatting
context is ambiguous or misleading for elements that would establish one
anyway.

The current definition of "becomes a formatting context" is
problematic (see https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/1457), so we
need to fix it, but it is precisely aimed at solving this: defining what
kind of formatting context to establish for the boxes that wouldn't
otherwise, and being clear about which boxes are fine as is and don't
need to be changed.

See https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/pull/1588
