bug#31338: none of the css-* defuns are available

[積丹尼 Dan Jacobson]

We take a css file that is all on one line,
$ wc /tmp/o.css
   1  144 4835 /tmp/o.css
and try to reformat it.
$ emacs /tmp/o.css
But none of the css-* defuns are available,
M-x css-<TAB>
only shows css-mode.
And C-h m only shows prog-indent-sexp which is of no help.
emacs-version "25.2.2"

OK I ended up doing
(query-replace "}" "}
" nil (if (use-region-p) (region-beginning)) (if (use-region-p)
(region-end)) nil nil)
which was all I needed.

CSS mode doesn't provide a function that re-formats a CSS file that is
all on one line. I think the closest you'll get is
`css-fill-paragraph', which re-formats whole selectors at a time.

Maybe it would be nice to make `css-fill-paragraph' interactive,
making that functionality easier to discover through `M-x'?

Well the whole thing needs to be documented giving examples of how one
is supposed to use the mode.

And then how to tackle e.g., Facebook and Google's CSS, which is all on
one line.

The mode's documentation string was extended in Emacs 26.1, please see
if you find the documentation there sufficient. Otherwise feel free to
provide concrete suggestions for further improvements.

I've updated the docstring to mention fill-paragraph too, which will
be visible in Emacs 26.2.
