Summary text-wrap: balance prefers longer lines at the end of the block

When balancing, there are different results that produce the same score, i.e.: the overall deviation to the ideal line is the same for different layout configurations. The current implementation prefers to keep longer lines at the end of the block, rather than at the beginning. Although this is not a bug, since specification doesn't dictates the shape of balancing, this might look a bit weird for some authors, as we are used to the Greedy behavior of "wrap", which will have a shorter line at the end. Also, other UAs prefers to have longer lines at the beginning, so, although it is not a bug, it would make the feature less confusing for authors if we would match the same behavior.
