Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-overflow] overflow: Consider support for overlay scrollbars

Just realized / remembered another aspect of `overflow:auto` which 
sucks when the `overflow-style` isn't `overlay`: vertical scroll bars 
aren't taken into account for inline intrinsic sizing (cause they 
can't):

```css
pre {
        max-height: 100px;
        overflow-y: auto;
        width: max-content; /* or width: min-content,
                               or float:left
                               or position:absolute
                               or <td><pre>...</pre></td> */
}
```
This gives you a horizontal scrollbar in addition to the vertical one 
when there's vertical overflow, which is not what the author wants 
(typically). This wouldn't:
```css
pre {
        max-height: 100px;
        overflow-y: auto;
        overflow-style: overlay;
        width: max-content; /* or width: min-content,
                               or float:left
                               or position:absolute
                               or <td><pre>...</pre></td> */
}
```
