Attachment: WIP

Attaching file is a patch what I've written in bug 1295107.  I was going to also fix this in bug 1295107, but now I think it should be a separate bug.

I think this patch is almost finished, but I am not sure whether there are remaining works or not.

I'm not sure we should cherrypick just this one update from CSS Color 4. There are a good bit more related changes in CSS Color 4, just about this same expression (e.g. supporting 3-4 components in both "rgb()" and "rgba()", supporting rgb/rgba with spaces and a slash instead of commas).

If we're making this one upgrade to these expressions, I think we need to make the other upgrades at (approximately) the same time.

Note that in CSS Color 3, rgb/rgba expressions only accept "either three integer values or three percentage values":

(The full <number> stuff is new [along with a lot of other changes] in CSS Color 4.)
