[css2] Minor cleanup of intl. list styles. Divided styles into glphys, numbering systems, and alphabetic systems. NEW: if a UA doesnt support a numbering system, should use decimal. NEW: a note saying that the spec doesnt explain numbering system details. Please review the division glyph/numbering/alphabetic.
