[csswg-drafts] [css-text] Consider removing `distribute` value for `text-justify` from the spec (#7322)

nt1m has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts:

== [css-text] Consider removing `distribute` value for `text-justify` from the spec ==
Currently there is this note:

> For legacy reasons, UAs must also support the alternate keyword distribute which must compute to [inter-character](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-text/#valdef-text-justify-inter-character), thus having the exact same meaning and behavior.

Looking at browser support for `text-justify`:
* Chrome only supports it behind the experimental web features flag
* IE (which used to support this value) is now retired
* Safari has never shipped `text-justify`

...which leaves Firefox being the only browser supporting it.

I suggest that we remove this note from the spec, since there is no clear win in web compatibility in supporting this.
