LibWeb: Implement time-traveling inheritance for CSS font-size
When setting `font-family: monospace;` in CSS, we have to interpret
the keyword font sizes (small, medium, large, etc) as slightly smaller
for historical reasons. Normally the medium font size is 16px, but
for monospace it's 13px.

The way this needs to behave is extremely strange:
When encountering `font-family: monospace`, we have to go back and
replay the CSS cascade as if the medium font size had been 13px all
along. Otherwise relative values like 2em/200%/etc could have gotten
lost in the inheritance chain.

We implement this in a fairly naive way by explicitly checking for
`font-family: monospace` (note: it has to be *exactly* like that,
it can't be `font-family: monospace, Courier` or similar.)
When encountered, we simply walk the element ancestors and re-run the
cascade for the font-size property. This is clumsy and inefficient,
but it does work for the common cases.

Other browsers do more elaborate things that we should eventually care
about as well, such as user-configurable font settings, per-language
behavior, etc. For now, this is just something that allows us to handle
more WPT tests where things fall apart due to unexpected font sizes.
