[svgwg] Issue: Allow line-height (and pre-formatted line breaks) on textPath (#799) marked as Text chapter

AmeliaBR has just labeled an issue for https://github.com/w3c/svgwg as "Text chapter":

== Allow line-height (and pre-formatted line breaks) on textPath ==
Regarding `line-height`, [SVG 2 currently says](https://svgwg.org/svg2-draft/text.html#LineHeightProperty) is:

> SVG uses the line-height property to determine the amount of leading space which is added between lines in multi-line text (both for horizontal and vertical text). It is not applicable to text on a path.

The Firefox implementation recognizes line-height when applying pre-formatted line breaks to text on a path, I saw no reason to forbid it when updating the property definitions in CSS Inline (see https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/3411 for discussion).

Note that I also matched existing implementations for which SVG text content elements the other alignment properties, which expands them compared to SVG 1.1 definitions.
