[CSSWG][css-lists-3] Updated WD of CSS Lists Level 3

The CSS WG has published an updated Working Draft of the CSS Lists Module Level 3:
     https://www.w3.org/TR/css-lists-3/

This module contains CSS features related to list markers and counters: 
styling them, positioning them, and manipulating their value.

This update refines the definition of which properties apply to ::marker and 
improves counter scoping and inheritance to be compatible HTML list numbering.
See changes list at
   https://www.w3.org/TR/2020/WD-css-lists-3-20201117/#changes

Much of this module, particularly features necessary to support HTML list 
numbering via CSS counters, is now implemented in Gecko and Blink. The next 
phase will be mostly refining what's already there in preparation for CR, with 
significant new work (including details of 'outside' marker layout) being 
pushed to the next level.

i18n-related open issues include:
   - https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/4209 [syntax for marker-side]
   - https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/4202 ['direction' on markers]

a11y-related open issues include:
   - https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/4201

HTML-related open issues, mostly about how to best support ol[reversed]:
   - https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/4181 reversed list decrement
   - https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/4211 reversed list start value

Please review the draft, and send any comments to <www-style@w3.org>, prefixed 
with [css-lists-3] (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,
