[csswg-drafts] [css-multicol] the minimum and preferred width of a multicol is not defined anywhere

FremyCompany has just created a new issue for 
https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts:

== [css-multicol] the minimum and preferred width of a multicol is not
 defined anywhere ==
And, of course, that means it isn't interoperable ;-)
So even if it is defined somewhere implementers didn't find it...

### I think Firefox makes sense when you need fit-content:
> https://jsfiddle.net/L03rqecj/2/

- Edge allocates 10 columns, then fill only three of them
- Firefox allocates as many columns as the container width allows, 
then fill only three of them
- Chrome allocates as many columns as the container width allows, then
 fill only two of them by wrapping the first two lines on the same 
column, but not the third one (wait, what)?


### And it makes sense again when you need min-content:
> https://jsfiddle.net/L03rqecj/3/

- Edge does as it does in the previous case (whaaaat?)
- Firefox collapses the whole thing to one column (of about 10px size)
- Chrome does like it did for preferred width (whaaaat?)


### I have seen real interop issues due to this while digging some 
tables bugs. 

We should sort this out ;-)
