patch 4: update "text-align-true" reftest

reftest output showing the fuzzy mismatch on the serif of the "u" in "unsafe"

Details
As discussed in bug 1237059 comment 14 and bug 1237059 comment 15, we should rename text-align: true and text-align-last: true to unsafe to match the current alignment spec at https://drafts.csswg.org/css-align/#overflow-values .
This would be a waste of time if the CSSWG decides that it doesn't want to introduce this feature on the 'text-align' property. I think we should wait until they respond to: https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2016Jan/0278.html
BTW, if you happen to attend a meeting where this is discussed, please bring up serialization. It might be confusing for authors that the css-align properties suppress 'safe' b/c it's the default, whereas 'text-align' suppress 'unsafe' b/c it's the default there.
I think it's confusing to have the old name in the tree, and trivial to fix (I wrote the patches within a few minutes after filing this bug).

This landing broke the reftest for this "text-align:true" feature. I prepared this patch locally as a quick-and-easy fix (updating the test to use the keyword), but I got a local reftest mismatch on the serif of the "u" on the word "unsafe" that is now present in the test. Probably just needs fuzz to correct for antialiasing, but needs some treeherder diagnosis to see how much fuzz & if that's platform-specific. Recommended that kwierso back out, in the meantime.

Attachment #8722642 - Attachment is patch: true
(So, before this re-lands, it probably needs a Try run with patch 4, to figure out whether/where we need fuzz to correct for that "u" serif fuzziness. Or we could just force the test to use a sans-serif font. Or maybe the fuzziness is a real bug & needs deeper investigation.) Also, before this re-lands -- it'd probably be good to fix patch 1 to correct each now-stale mentions of "true" in comments alongside the code-changes, e.g. here: > if (!sIsInitialized) { > // First run: find the position of "true" in kTextAlignKTable. > sIndexOfTrueInTextAlignTable = >- nsCSSProps::FindIndexOfKeyword(eCSSKeyword_true, >+ nsCSSProps::FindIndexOfKeyword(eCSSKeyword_unsafe, > nsCSSProps::kTextAlignKTable); https://hg.mozilla.org/integration/mozilla-inbound/rev/866f8a7337dfb9df08f8e85cb609f34a218c44d0#l1.10
The reftest fuzziness after applying 'patch 4' (shown in my attached reftest log) is from a single pixel, between the "|" and the u's upper-left serif -- it's rgb(255,255,255) in the testcase vs rgb(255,255,246) in the reference. Changing to a "sans-serif" font doesn't help -- it introduces a more severe version of the same problem - it gives me a full column of subpixel-antialiasing fuzziness to the right of the "|" character. So we might just want to take patch 1 with a "fuzzy-if([CONDITION],9,1) annotation. Anyway, I'll stop poking around here & let dbaron address this as he sees fit.

https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=try&revision=c48cbd30153d&selectedJob=17135604 shows that I can just reland with patch 4 (the test failures are from the other bug in that try run)
OK, my subpixel antialiasing issues must be a local quirk then. (Still probably worth fixing the now-wrong code-comments mentioned in comment 14 before re-landing, though.)

Oh, I forgot to do comment 14; I'll do that in a followup.

Hmm, it just occurred to me that we don't support explicitly specifying 'safe'. We probably should for consistency with <overflow-position> in css-align.
