Re: [csswg-drafts] [CSS-Font] Fixing font-variation-settings: "ital" 1 with font style of italic and oblique (#12836)

The [spec currently says](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-fonts-4/#font-style-prop) (my emphasis)

> oblique `<angle [-90deg,90deg]>`
    Controls matching against an oblique face. Positive angles represent a clockwise slant; negative angles represent a counter-clockwise slant. The lack of an [`<angle>`](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-values-4/#angle-value) represents 14deg. (Note that a font might internally provide its own mapping for "oblique", but the mapping within the font is disregarded.) Fractional and negative values are accepted; however, values less than -90deg or values greater than 90deg are [invalid](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-syntax-3/#css-invalid). If no oblique faces exist, and [font-synthesis-style](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-fonts-4/#propdef-font-synthesis-style) has the value auto, **a synthetic oblique face will be generated.**
