The column properties have no effect on a flex container, but a flex
container placed *inside* of a multicol element will still act
normally for how things inside of columns act.

What it means, exactly, for ::first-line/letter to "not apply" to
flex/grid containers isn't yet specified.  We need to better define
::first-line/letter.  Basically, though, it'll mean that
::first-line/letter on the flex/grid container itself won't match
anything, and on an ancestor, the flex/grid container won't be part of
that pseudo-element.
