Attachment: add nsStyleColumn and related machinery

This adds an nsStyleColumn style struct, with two properties: -moz-column-count
and -moz-column-width. The former can be auto or a positive integer; the latter
is auto or length. This is all as per the proposed spec. My suggested
column-count extension '-moz-unlimited' is not in here yet. I'll add that
later.

This is the first step to getting some sort of column support working...

Added about 3K codesize, no appreciable Tp impact. Great!

Thanks Robert!

Though can I verify for my own edification (sp?) that column is not yet
supported, just these properties are now scanned for?

Please mark this as a dep of whatever bug is to enable column's as per the CSS3
spec, (or whenever that bug is filed if not filed yet), Thanks

Correct. There's a lot of work to do before column support actually works. All
you can do right now is set and read the properties.
