Support bare col-* and row-* utilities (#15183)

Resolves #15170.

This PR adds support for bare integer values to the `col-*` and `row-*`
utilities:

```css
.col-5 {
  grid-column: 5;
}
.row-6 {
  grid-row: 6;
}
```

These properties are shorthands for
`grid-column-start`/`grid-column-end` and
`grid-row-start`/`grid-row-end`, so using a bare integer value ends up
being a shortcut for:

```css
.col-5 {
  grid-column-start: 5;
  grid-column-end: auto;
}
```

…which makes these basically work like an alternative to `col-start-*`
and `row-start-*`.

These support negative values like `-col-6` as well, which also
technically extends to arbitrary values like `-col-[6/span_2]` now even
though that is a junk value. I've decided not to guard against that
though and just consider it user error to keep the implementation
simple.
