[CSSWG][css-properties-values-api] Updated WD of CSS Properties & Values API Level 1

The CSS WG has published an updated Working Draft of the CSS
Properties & Values API Level 1:

    https://www.w3.org/TR/css-properties-values-api/

This specification allows authors to make CSS custom properties
(https://drafts.csswg.org/css-variables/) act more like built-in
properties, giving them a type and grammar to verify against, an
initial value, and controlling whether they inherit or not.

This new draft revamps and adds more detail to the property
registration algorithm, and adds the ability to "unregister" a custom
property (returning it to the default behavior for custom properties,
accepting any type).

This specification is intended to be driven to CR soon; the remaining
known issues are being resolved and will likely result in one more
Working Draft, but the overall design is now stable and soon to be
widely-implemented.

Please review the draft, and file any issues in the GitHub repository at
  https://github.com/w3c/css-houdini-drafts/issues.

For the CSS WG,
Tab Atkins-Bittner
