Re: [clreq] Add Chinese language font stacks, addresses #184

@huijing unfortunately these edits won't solve the problem i mentioned in https://github.com/w3c/clreq/issues/184 because the first fonts listed are non-Chinese. When the browser encounters:

```<span lang="zh-hant">比尔·盖茨</span>```

it will use, in my case, Helvetica to render the middle dot, rather than a wider glyph from a Chinese font.  The font list needs to start with Chinese fonts.

Also, does the selection of fonts listed ensure that a Chinese font will be picked for most major platforms?  I have a document at https://r12a.github.io/scripts/fontlist/#chinese-s with a list of fonts supported by the Mac and Windows systems.  (It's a little old now, however, that may in some ways make it more useful, because it's more conservative.) I don't see much of a correspondance between your list and the fonts listed in my article, which makes me wonder whether we have good enough fallback.  (I could be wrong!)

I'll look into the generated items later, when i have a moment.
