Bug 189597 – Wrong 'border' serialization with both common and uncommon values

• Component: CSS
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Oriol Brufau]

Run this code:

```js
element.style.cssText = "border: 5px solid blue; border-top: 5px dotted green";
element.style.border;
```

Expected: empty string, because the 'border' shorthand can't express that combination.
Result: "5px", because that's a common value for the 4 sides. The style and color have uncommon values so they are just omitted.

Why was CommonValueMode added in the first place, and what's the justification for removing it?

Initially, there was no CommonValueMode and the behavior was always like OmitUncommonValues. This produced a wrong output both for cssText and getPropertyValue("border").

Then bug 83026 added CommonValueMode to fix the cssText behavior, but preserving the getPropertyValue("border") one.

But it's still wrong: https://drafts.csswg.org/cssom/#serialize-a-css-value
> If there is no such shorthand or shorthand cannot exactly represent the values of all the properties in list, return the empty string.

So now I want to remove CommonValueMode and always behave like ReturnNullOnUncommonValues.
