We currently have support for parsing and storage, but not computation, of 5 CSS properties (marks, orphans, page, size, widows).  Three of them were only ever intended to be used in @page rules and *not* in style rules.  Additionally we're violating the CSS specs by parsing them (and accepting them in @supports) when we don't actually support them.

We should just remove the code.  If we ever want to add some support for these properties, we can add the code back, without the complication of having to deal with half-implemented properties in the codebase (causing issues like bug 1215672).
We're violating http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS/#partial by leaving this
implementation in when we don't actually support the properties.

We're also incorrectly parsing marks and size in style rules rather than
@page rules; they were only intended for @page rules.

This is a mechanism that should not exist; any use of it means
nonconformance with http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS/#partial .

(I ran layout/style/test mochitests locally; they pass.)
