Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-values] ch units shouldn’t cause font downloads (#3135)

I have to agree with @bradkemper and @AmeliaBR here. There are plenty of cases where the first available font isn't the one used to render zero _and_ there is another font in the fallback list which both does have it and is expected to be used to render alphanumerics. And having `ch` not match that zero, but be something else random is not helpful to the author trying to size their content.

It's fine to restrict `ch` from triggering a font download, but I think it's less fine to pick an unrelated and potentially very wrong value because the author happened to use a more restricted-subset font as the first available font, instead of their main text font (or instead of their Latin text font, in i18n contexts).
