[csswg-drafts] [css-display] Clarify that the outer display type only affects the principal box

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

== [css-display] Clarify that the outer display type only affects the principal box ==
Currently it's not much clear which boxes are affected by the outer display type if the element generates multiple boxes. I think it should say that it only applies to the principal box. Otherwise one might think that `block ruby` generates a block-level ruby container or that `inline table` generates an inline-level table box.

For example, in [outer display type](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-display-3/#outer-display-type), change

> the outer display type, which dictates how the box itself participates in flow layout.

to something like

> the outer display type, which dictates how the principal box participates in flow layout.

And also mention it in [Outer Display Roles for Flow Layout](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-display-3/#outer-role).

Note: see #1604, it might need to be "the principal boxes" in plural.
