font-variant: small-caps; doesn't use a downloadable font declared to be font-variant: small-caps; via @font-face.

Steps to reproduce:
 1) Load http://hsivonen.iki.fi/test/moz/font-face-small-caps.html

Expected results:
Expected both lines to use real small caps--i.e. with vertical lines as thick as in the capital letter.

Actual results:
The first line uses fake small caps. (The second line uses real small caps by claiming to be a normal variant.)
Note that the test case becomes invalid if bug 458634 is fixed first.
Fixed the test case not to depend on the other bug.
It seems that the actual problem is that font-variant: small-caps; is ignored in the descriptor. And that's because the spec doesn't support it.
