[csswg-drafts] [css2][css-display-3] Remove "display:run-in" from CSS (#9784)

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

== [css2][css-display-3] Remove "display:run-in" from CSS ==
tl;dr: could we remove display:run-in from CSS specs, to reflect reality?

See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2056#c97 for some background.  As Joe Walker noted there (emphasis added):
> Partial support for display:run-in was removed from WebKit and Blink many years ago. IE11 (pre-Blink) had (some) support, however as IE11 is not actively maintained, **there are zero modern browser engines with support for this feature and we are unaware of any interest in reviving it as specified**.
> 
> We believe that display:run-in should be removed from any CSS specs being maintained. If there is web developer/author interest in this sort of "run-in" styling functionality we should redesign a new feature that is based on the host language having a definition/concept of "paragraph" as noted for example in https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/dom.html#paragraph.
