When using Edge on Windows 10 with a precision touchpad (PTP), Edge
does not generate scroll events. This means that zooming does not work
on PTP devices. It seems that Touch events are also not
generated. This commit implements support for the upcoming/new Pointer
API, which is supported across most modern browsers. The Pointer API
provides a unified API for pointing devices, including both mice and
touchpads.
After this commit, the Pointer API will be preferred to both the Touch
and the mouse APIs if it is present.
We do preventDefault on the events in order to prevent clicks from
being generated by them in addition to the pointer events, since
they've been handled.
