Description

The 'double' underline style was removed by #91. However, Firefox does support double underlines if the IME requests it (see here). It would probably be best to add it back in, so we can match the style of the IME in other applications, and in case some IME uses single vs double underline as a meaningful distinction.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the EditContext API change from #91 and the linked Firefox IME implementation. Restore support for the 'double' underline style so an IME can request it and the API preserves the distinction from a single underline.
