[csswg-drafts] clarify to what extent new system color are about system settings versus browser settings (#4533)

dbaron has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts:

== clarify to what extent new system color are about system settings versus browser settings ==
A number of new [system color keywords](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-color-4/#css-system-colors) in css-color-4 (in particular, `Canvas`, `CanvasText`, `LinkText`, `VisitedText`, and `ActiveText`) have the characteristic that they're both browser settings and system settings.  In other words, there might be an operating system color for link text configured that's *different* from the color for link text configured in the browser.

I think it should be clearer which of these colors the keywords are intended to reference.  I don't have a strong opinion, although I think I'm inclined towards the browser setting for them rather than the system one.  (If there are good use cases for both, it's possible two sets of keywords might be needed.  Gecko currently has `-moz-`-prefixed equivalents for both variants of `LinkText`.)
