Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-align-3][css-multicol] How is the last-baseline of a multi-col determined? (#7639)

Four options that seem to maybe make sense here are:
    
1. Last baseline of the last column
    * logically makes the most sense, but least likely to be near the bottom of the container
2. Last baseline of the first column
    * as likely to be relevant as any other filled column, and easiest to talk about
3. Lowest of the last baselines of all the columns
    * Gets a real baseline, not susceptible to large-box-moved-to-next-column fragmentation quirks.
4. No last baseline; synthesize
* simple, current behavior, but doesn't line up text at all despite the author clearly desiring that

Note: A regular block box (that contains text) uses its last baseline. (Defined in 2.1 for inline blocks, at least, which was the only context the question made sense back then.)

We suspect (3) will give the best behavior; in simple cases it and (2) will be more or less identical, but (3) works better in more cases.
