[csswg-drafts] [css-ruby] define the height of the content area of ruby containers (#4936)

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

== [css-ruby] define the height of the content area of ruby containers ==
(See also #4935 for a related but different issue)

* The ruby container box is defined to be an inline-level box (in [2.2.1](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-ruby-1/#formatting-context) (but not an inline box)

* "In most respects, ruby boxes can be styled similar to inline boxes." (in 3)

Section 3 defines the "measure" (i.e. width) of the ruby container (presumably this is about the width of the content box, and padding/border/margins go outside), but it does not define its height. Presumably given the intended similarities with inline boxes, it's height meant to be identical to what would happen if the ruby container was regular inline box containing all its base level content as inline boxes, but it should be made explicit. Note that the content area of an inline box is itself currently undefined (see the second note in css-inline section 3.3.1), but making sure that these two are identical seems worth stating. Cursory testing seams to support this.

Alternatively, if it is meant to be something else, then that should be stated instead.
