Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-fonts] avoid fallback from oblique to italic (#9389)

We currently have:

> For the purposes of font matching, User agents may treat [italic](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-fonts-4/Overview.html#valdef-font-style-italic) as a synonym for [oblique](https://drafts.csswg.org/css2/#valdef-font-style-oblique). For user agents that treat these values distinctly, synthesis must not be performed for italic.

But that is saying that `italic` and `oblique` can be treated as the same. What we want is not symmetrical: `oblique` can be treated as a fallback to `italic`, but `italic` cannot be treated as a fallback to `oblique`.
