[csswg-drafts] Pull Request: Convert Makefiles and shell scripts to use spec-generator URLs

kfranqueiro has just submitted a new pull request for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts:

== Convert Makefiles and shell scripts to use spec-generator URLs ==
This updates all scripts and Makefiles containing references to the discontinued `api.csswg.org/bikeshed` HTTP API, to instead use https://www.w3.org/publications/spec-generator/.

I have tested all of these to verify they produce nearly-identical results as the existing EDs.

I'm not sure how many of the Makefiles/scripts are actively used; some of the specs, possibly older ones, fail without the addition of `die-on=nothing`. Some rely on local `bikeshed` by default or include comments to that effect. In any cases where images are involved, I've made sure to comment that running with local bikeshed seems preferable, since then it will generate width/height attributes (which are present in the current EDs).

For details on how parameters were changed, see [Migrating Bikeshed HTTP API usage to spec‐generator](https://github.com/w3c/spec-generator/wiki/Migrating-Bikeshed-HTTP-API-usage-to-spec%E2%80%90generator#http-api). Note that some parameters referenced in the existing Makefiles, e.g. `paragraph`, didn't seem to be documented at all in the old HTTP API, so I have to assume they may have had no effect.
