Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-values-4][css-writing-modes-4] Revisit decision to use 永 instead of 水 as the ic unit (#7577)

Although I'm not strongly against about it, I don't think it's worth the change to the specs and implementations.

I don't know how things are going on in #3135 , but if the `ic` requires implementations to download the font, then 永 (U+6C38) has higher chance to cause extra font download compared to 水 (U+6C34):

* In [Noto Sans Japanese](https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Noto+Sans+JP), 水 (U+6C34) is placed in the 5th most used characters bucket, whereas 永 (U+6C38) is in the 22nd
* In [Noto Sans Traditional Chinese](https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Noto+Sans+TC), 水 is in the 2nd bucket, and 永 is in the 5th
* In [Noto Sans Simplified Chinese](https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Noto+Sans+SC), 水 is in the 3rd bucket, and 永 is in the 6th
* In [Noto Sans Hong Kong](https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Noto+Sans+TC), 水 is in the 2nd bucket, and 永 is in the 5th
* In [Noto Sans Korean](https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Noto+Sans+KR), 水 is in the 16th bucket, and 永 is in the 39th
