The new implementation brings changes to the public API for Tree/TableView and ResizeFeaturesBase classes. Specifically:

>> - make Tree/TableView.CONSTRAINED_RESIZE_POLICY an alias to AUTO_RESIZE_SUBSEQUENT_COLUMNS (a slight behavioral change - discuss)

>> 1. The current resize policies' toString() methods return "unconstrained-resize" and "constrained-resize", used by the skin base to set a pseudostate. All constrained policies that extend ConstrainedColumnResizeBase will return "constrained-resize" value.
>> 2. The reason an abstract class ( ConstrainedColumnResizeBase) was chosen instead of a marker interface is exactly for its toString() method which supplies "constrained-resize" value. The implementors might choose to use a different value, however they must ensure the stylesheet contains the same adjustments for the new policy as those made in modena.css for "constrained-resize" value.

The docs look good. Go ahead and update the CSR and move it to Proposed.

Minor: you can remote this `<p>`, too.
