[css-values-5] *Replace an attr() function* doesn't handle raw-string #12370

Description

@AtkinsSJ

Replace an attr() function doesn't handle raw-string as a value. Step 4 says:

If syntax is null, return a CSS whose value is attr value.
NOTE: No parsing or modification of any kind is performed on the value.

...and then subsequent steps require parsing the attr value into tokens. I believe step 4 should be something like:

If syntax is either null or raw-string, ...

This would agree with the earlier text explaining <attr-type>:

If given as the raw-string keyword, or omitted entirely, it causes the attribute’s literal value to be treated as the value of a CSS string, with no CSS parsing performed at all (including CSS escapes, whitespace removal, comments, etc).

I'm happy to PR this later, I just want to check I'm understanding correctly first.
