Re: [csswg-drafts] Fixing font-variation-settings: "ital" 1 with font style of italic and oblique (#12836)

I think it's wrong for `font-style: oblique` to activate the `ital` axis in the font, which is what the "after fix" image seems to show for the combination of `font-style: oblique` and "Font with `ital`, 0 to 1".

If `oblique` is requested, and no actual oblique face nor `slnt` axis is available, the browser should //not// fall back to an italic face; instead, it should apply a synthetic oblique effect. Just as it should //not// use a distinct italic face as fallback for `oblique`, I think it should also //not// apply the `ital` axis.
