[csswg-drafts] [css-fonts] Make larger/smaller simple ratios

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

== [css-fonts] Make larger/smaller simple ratios ==
As of https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1361550, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, IE, and Servo all treat `font-size: smaller` and `larger` as simple ratios of the parent font size.

The spec specifies a complicated size selection mechanism (see https://drafts.csswg.org/css-fonts-3/#relative-size-value), based off of finding the relative position on the table and using that.

Given that font-size is pretty complicated already due to the inheriting dependence of keywords on the language/family, this only muddies things further.

We probably should make this a simple ratio (with the exact ratio values left up to implementors?)
