Currently, we use constants in the range [-4 .. 4] to represent the 9 possible font-stretch values from ultra-condensed to ultra-expanded.

However, CSS Fonts 4 updates font-stretch to accept not just the 9 enumerated values, but any non-negative percentage value (with the enumerated values mapping to percentages from ultra-condensed at 50% to ultra-expanded at 200%).

In preparation for this, I propose revising the constants to values based on the CSS Fonts 4 percentage definitions. This allows us to make the necessary changes to the font-matching algorithm, and to begin mapping font-stretch values to the 'wdth' axis in OpenType variation fonts.

(At this point, I'm leaving the stretch fields in gfxFontStyle, gfxFontEntry, etc as integers, to minimize risk in this bug. The next step, when parsing is updated to accept floating-point percentage values in addition to the enumerated values, will be to switch to a floating- or fixed-point representation for all the affected font properties -- stretch, weight, style.)
This is mostly trivial: change the definitions in gfxFontConstants.h, and switch font-stretch fields/variables from signed to unsigned now that they're always non-negative. The only other thing is a minor update to the font-matching code where it's computing "distance" between styles based on the constants. Tryserver says this doesn't break anything (at least not anything too obvious): https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=try&revision=654b6927ba0dc7dcd308067bc727bd24b3c1ea3f.

Might as well get rid of the trailing white space while you're here.
