[touch-events] Expand mouse events/click note to specify these are usually only fired for tap

patrickhlauke has just created a new issue for 
https://github.com/w3c/touch-events:

== Expand mouse events/click note to specify these are usually only 
fired for tap ==
Currently the second note in 
http://w3c.github.io/touch-events/#mouse-events reads

> User agents will typically dispatch mouse and click events when 
there is only a single active touch point. Multi-touch interactions – 
involving two or more active touch points – will usually only generate
 touch events.

As per 
https://github.com/w3c/touch-events/issues/60#issuecomment-210205658 
it would be good if in this (non-normative/informative) note there was
 a further mention that UAs typicially only dispatch these for 
tap/activation gestures (i.e. you don't get `mousemove` that track the
 movement of the single active touch point). @RByers raised a possible
 concern that the use of "tap gesture" may cause some issue, but if I 
recall correctly issues would only arise around other wording such as 
"double-tap to zoom" or similar.

Will draft a tiny tweak to this note next week when I'm back off 
holiday.
