[css-color][css-color-3] Needs header link to Editor’s Draft

[tantek]

As is common convention in our modern specs, the header section needs a link to the CSS Color Level 3 Editor's draft (however that draft itself needs regenerating, it says "Editor's Draft 7 July 2014" currently).

We need to update the Editor's draft source with a link to the viewable Editor's Draft, and then regenerate the Editor's draft Overview.html.

If I hadn't already submitted the comments, I would have referenced this issue from Mozilla's comments on the css-color-3 PR.

CSS Color 3 is unfortunately one of the few specs using the old CSS preprocessor that Bert wrote, and which is no longer maintained. That means that regenerating the draft from the .src means running that preprocessor, then fixing up all the things it gets wrong (lots of boilerplate errors, wrong process document link, generates HTML 4.01, several references are incorrect or not in the old, unmaintained references database it uses, etc).

I agree that the build version of the spec needs to be updated, and i will do that.
