[svgwg] Pull Request: Update <textPath> `path`/`href` fallback behavior per WG resolution

viralipurbey has just submitted a new pull request for https://github.com/w3c/svgwg:

== Update <textPath> `path`/`href` fallback behavior per WG resolution ==
Clarifies the fallback behavior when the `path` attribute on a `textPath` element contains errors, per the [March 12, 2026 WG resolution](https://www.w3.org/2026/03/12-svg-minutes.html):

- If the `path` data results in no valid path segments (empty string, or error before any valid segments), fall back to `href`.
- If the `path` data produces at least one valid segment before the error, use the valid portion per [Error handling in path data](https://w3c.github.io/svgwg/svg2-draft/paths.html#PathDataErrorHandling); do not fall back to `href`.

Updated in both the TextPathElement precedence section and the `path` attribute definition.

Resolves [https://github.com/w3c/svgwg/issues/393](https://github.com/w3c/svgwg/issues/393)
