[csswg-drafts] [css-tables] Ignorable whitespace and tables. (#8358)

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

== [css-tables] Ignorable whitespace and tables. ==
It seems WebKit and Blink ignore whitespace text nodes in tables unconditionally, see [this test-case](https://bug1811353.bmoattachments.org/attachment.cgi?id=9314059). I found the [Blink code](https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/main:third_party/blink/renderer/core/dom/text.cc;l=264;drc=c74dba0e87527f5271d3f0c884f768d299b9b258), I didn't dig into the WebKit one.

I don't think the spec mandates this, and it's not super-hard to support in Firefox, but is it intentional? It definitely seems weird.

It should either be specified or tested. This broke a diff page in Firefox, see [bug 1811353](https://bugzil.la/1811353).
