Re: [csswg-drafts] [mediaqueries-5] Remove (prefers-contrast) as a boolean, and replaced by a new color reduction media query (#6036)

Having `@media (prefers-contrast)` (without explicit value) match when you're in forced color mode despite not picking a particularly low nor high contrast is precisely what we were pushing for in https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/5433, and got overruled about.

If we're having second thoughts about that—because we do agree after all that forced colors does imply reduced color complexity, and that it is appropriate for all cases of forced colors to match `@media (prefers-contrast)`—I'd rather go back to the earlier design (which is to have one more value of prefers-contrast that matches forced colors that are neither particularly low nor high contrast), rather than pretend mid-contrast things are high contrast. For `@media (prefers-contrast)` without an explicit value, it would make no difference, but it would avoid having to misleadingly claim a “more contrast” preference that isn't real.
