Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-multicol-2] `column-wrap`, `column-height` and column balancing (#11976)

Yeah, not entirely sure. One could argue that, if none of `column-height` or `column-wrap` are specified, and `height` is fixed, the used column height should be that of `height`. Yet, we balance:

```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<style>
  .mc {
    columns: 3;
    line-height: 20px;
    height: 100px;
    rule: solid;
    orphans: 1;
    widows: 1;
    background:yellow;
  }
</style>
<div class="mc">
  first column<br>
  second column<br>
  third column<br>
</div>
```

<img width="519" height="105" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/9ac7734f-4309-4f1d-bd0d-5b485aa5a3d8" />

Why should it be any different if we set `column-height` to 100px?
