Add former paged overflow impls to prior art for Overflow Extensions Explainer #29

Description

@lilles

Both Presto and WebKit had an implementation for paged overflow for elements via prefixed values for the overflow property.

The Blink implementation was removed in Chrome 75 with this motivation:

"For developers who wish to have fragmented content, a more standardized way to do this is with multi-column:

See the previous example using this technique:

For developers wishing to establish a new formatting context (to prevent margin-collapsing or similar), display: flow-root, or overflow: hidden both work.

This feature isn't widely used, and maintaining it indefinitely will likely result it a maintenance burden."
