Blink attempts to ship CSS `initial-letter` applies only `::first-letter`.

The patch[1] implements:
  * `initial-letter: number integer`
  * `initial-letter: number drop`
  * `initial-letter: number raise`
  * `initial-letter: drop number`
  * `initial-letter: raise number`
  * `initial-letter: number`
