Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-multicol] Improve column-fill and make it backward-compatible (#3224)

Looks like this resolution didn't make it into the spec - i.e. according to the spec, `column:fill-auto` is always honored (except before spanners), even if block-size of the multicol container is unconstrained.

Also, Chromium follows the "new" spec now [1]. WebKit still doesn't, and will force-balance if block-size of the multicol container is unconstrained, like the spec used to say back in the days (before this issue was filed).

[1] Fixed three years ago: https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/4173395

So... all good, I suppose? Especially if WebKit also fixes it.
