Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-syntax] "Drop first @charset rule" seems unneeded. (#3464)

The CSS Working Group just discussed `"Drop first @charset rule" seems unneeded.`, and agreed to the following:

* `RESOLVED: Drop the drop the first @charset rule`

<details><summary>The full IRC log of that discussion</summary>
&lt;dael> Topic: "Drop first @charset rule" seems unneeded.<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> GitHub: https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/3464<br>
&lt;dael> TabAtkins: This is in CR so need resolution. Way back in the day when I wrote syntax I spec blink's behavior of dropping the first. I later changed things so char-set tules were not rules. None of the charset things show in cssom. Everyone adapted to that, at least blink and FF. There is no @charset so we can drop the requirement to drop the first<br>
&lt;dael> TabAtkins: Looking for obj and, if not, I'll fix the spec and then put together the stuff for publising<br>
&lt;dael> AmeliaBR: @charset is now an unrecognized rule or is it recognized as a parsing instruction and then removed from CSSOM?<br>
&lt;dael> TabAtkins: Unrecgnoized rule. It's dropped like and @foo rule<br>
&lt;dael> fantasai: Proposal is drop all instead of drop first?<br>
&lt;dael> TabAtkins: There's already rules to drop all. but there's also a rule to say drop first. This is nonsensical so I want to fix.<br>
&lt;dael> fantasai: So spec says in one place it's drop first and in another place drop all<br>
&lt;dael> TabAtkins: Yeah<br>
&lt;dael> astearns: I'm in favor of fixing things Boris finds confusing<br>
&lt;dael> fantasai: If Mozilla signs off I'm fine<br>
&lt;dael> TabAtkins: I think Boris effectively did<br>
&lt;dael> astearns: What about webkit?<br>
&lt;dael> astearns: Prop: Drop the drop the first @charset rule<br>
&lt;dael> RESOLVED: Drop the drop the first @charset rule<br>
&lt;dael> TabAtkins: This is the only unresolved thing. It's due for a publication so I'll put together DoC. But if no one objects I'd like ar esolution to publish<br>
&lt;dael> astearns: I'd like to see the DoC since it's been a long time.<br>
&lt;dael> TabAtkins: No problem. There's been a couple changes<br>
&lt;dael> astearns: I don't expect many, but knowing which will be useful<br>
&lt;dael> TabAtkins: Last publish was in 2014<br>
