Re: [css-images] Added image-rendering:high-quality

The SVG 1.1 version of image-rendering had three values: optimizeSpeed,
optimizeQuality, and auto.
https://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/painting.html#ImageRenderingProperty

If CSS is introducing a "high-quality" keyword that is distinct from
"auto", I think that is the natural equivalent to optimizeQuality.

As for what keyword to use, I would lean towards something that emphasizes
the expected behavior (e.g. "smooth" or "interpolate") instead of something
that relies on a subjective term like "quality".  Smooth interpolation
isn't high-quality for pixel art.
