Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-values] Math Constant phi for Golden Ratio (#4702)

One difference to many other irrational constants is that there is an established symbol and name. I discussed (and dismissed) other candidates in my initial post. If `phi` isnʼt worth adding, nothing beyond `pi` and `e` is. 

If the Golden Number could be expressed exactly as the square root of a rational number, like `sqrt(2)` which ECMA-262 has a predefined constant for, or as a single rational argument to an existing function, like `exp(1)` for `e`, I would certainly not be pushing it as much.
