[csswg-drafts] [css-tables][css-position] sticky cols (#3577)

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

== [css-tables][css-position] sticky cols ==
I want to suggest an idea that can help to display large tables: sticky position for table columns. It is basic functionality in desktop programs like MS Excel. Currently we can find many solutions for this based on some CSS tricks and additional JS calculations but all of this is worst and have a lot of restrictions and errors in edge cases.

### Basic concept:
* `position: sticky` only for first column
* `position: sticky` inside `<td>` styles makes this column stuck
* `position: sticky` for `<tr>` makes row stuck

Of course there are a big number edge cases (e.g. which behavior should be with `table-layout: fixed`?) and all of it will be resolved if this idea will develop
