Gecko (and previously Presto) support setting `rowspan=0` in non-quirksmode
documents to mean "up to the end of the rowgroup" (for rows not within
rowgroups, this means that it spans up to the next rowgroup or the end of
the table). It is equivalent to setting rowspan to a very large number.

colspan=0 does not do this[1]

Chrome/Blink very recently added support[2], but it's still in Canary, and
I'd like to remove it from both browsers and the spec before it hits
release.

You can already achieve this behavior with `rowspan=<large number>`, and we
should encourage developers to use Grid anyway, so I don't see much value
in having this feature in and of itself. Given that it was only supported
by one browser (us) for so many years, it's questionable whether it's used
enough on the Web for it to be something we must keep for compat reasons.

Thoughts?
