Re: [pointerevents] Major refactoring: refer to "direct manipulation" rather than "touch" (#350)

Took another stab at making the language more comprehensible. Maybe went a bit overboard, but:

* to simplify matters, just settled on talking about "scrolling" rather than always clarifying it's "panning/scrolling". we do still have a note that says we're intending "pan" to mean the same as "scroll"
* as discussed in our call, instead of just saying "direct manipulation", specified, where necessary, that we're talking about "direct manipulation for scroll/zoom" or similar. this bridges the weird gap of having "direct manipulation" mean different things to different people (touch/stylus only for us, but in some quarters even a mouse GUI is called a "direct manipulation" interface ... for the latter though, scrolling/zooming is generally NOT done via this direct manipulation, so by being specific this now makes sense regardless of which way you interpret "direct manipulation")

this will still need a refactor/rebase/potential more work once https://github.com/w3c/pointerevents/pull/349 lands
