Re: [csswg-drafts] [mediaqueries] rename pointer/hover to main-pointer/hover

This has been shipping with the current names in Chrome for quite a 
while, so we'd prefer not to change it.

Also, it's a longer term without, imo, much additional clarification.
  It's fairly obvious that the unqualified "pointer" refers to the 
main pointer when contrasted with "any-pointer" already.

And, establishing a main-* prefix pattern isn't friendly to future 
cases where we design a feature with the assumption of only one 
whatever-it's-about, but later realize that some devices can have two 
or more whatever-it's-about's with different capabilities.  We 
wouldn't have used main- on the initial one.  (That's what happened 
with pointer and hover, actually.)
