Consider merging https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/blink/+/9082e2bd2a83bb23c7e2852fb2d488c04d3ef368

Relative length support was allowed by HTML4 on COLGROUP and COL's
'width' attribute (see
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/tables.html#h-11.2.4.1) but it
never made it to HTML5.

The current code doesn't convert the 'width' attribute to a Relative
Length internally, which means that we don't parse these lengths
properly and the code to handle them in table rendering is dead.
