[🚀 Feature]: Implement Touch specific functionality in actions

[titusfortner]

Feature and motivation

With the move to w3c, the previous Touch Actions API was made obsolete.

For single finger interactions, a user can set the pointer input "type" to be a "finger" similar to how this example shows it being set as a "pen": https://www.selenium.dev/documentation/webdriver/actions_api/pen/#using-a-pen

And then do all the things that any pointer input can do: https://www.selenium.dev/documentation/webdriver/actions_api/mouse/

What the existing implementations do not make easy is multiple inputs (fingers) acting simultaneously.

We should consider creating an API or options for things like "pinch," "zoom," and "scroll".

Whatever this API is, it should match what an Appium user does or would expect to do in native application contexts.

Usage example

new Actions(driver)
        .zoom(locus, startRadius, endRadius, pinchAngle, duration)
        .perform();

It might warrant a separate Issue, but it probably won't be a sticking point until/unless we implement the touch API in Java; but managing multiple action sequences in Java when you can't use Actions class is clunky, and we may need to find a better way to do this. (see point 4 - https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/issues/10724)
