[CSSWG][css-text-4] Updated WD of CSS Text L4

The CSS WG has published an updated Working Draft of the CSS Text Module Level 4:

  https://www.w3.org/TR/css-text-4/

This CSS module defines properties for text manipulation and specifies
their processing model. It covers line breaking, justification and
alignment, white space handling, and text transformation.

The most notable changes since last publication are:

* Recast the text-wrap property as a shorthand of two new properties,
  text-wrap-mode and text-wrap-style, and made text-wrap-mode rather
  than text-wrap a longhand of the white-space property. We call on
  implementations, particularly those that shipped "text-wrap: balance",
  to be updated to match this new shorthand and longhand relationship.

* The 'word-boundary-detection' property has been retired; phrase based
  line breaking is now controlled by "word-break: auto-phrase", and
  phrase-based space insertion by the "auto-phrase" value of the
  'word-space-transform' property.

Significant changes are listed at:

Please review the draft, and send any comments to this mailing list,
<www-style@w3.org>, prefixed with [css-text-4] (as I did on this
message) or (preferably) file them in the GitHub repository at
https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues

For the CSS WG,
