Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-tables-3] Ambiguous wording in Distributing excess width (#13793)

I just realized that "with intrinsic percentage width of 0%" must refer to columns too because the term "intrinsic percentage width" is used only for columns. This makes it unambiguous that "with nonzero max-content width" refers to columns too.

[Relevant code in Ladybird](https://github.com/LadybirdBrowser/ladybird/blob/ba59640ab2/Libraries/LibWeb/Layout/TableFormattingContext.cpp#L828)

So what this text means:
> 1. If there are columns that:
>    * are non-constrained
>    * have originating cells
>    * have intrinsic percentage width of 0% and 
>    * have nonzero max-content width

I still think the text would benefit from clarification though.
