Re: Add direction-specific pan values to touch-action?

The absolute panning direction does not reverse in RTL, so this shouldn't be a problem.

Logical "history traversal" directions are not flipped in RTL due to a legacy reason (Apparently VCRs didn't flip the order around so that stuck), so while everything else is flipped around the logical direction for "previous" is left, "next" is right for that reason.

The logic for chaining correctly with a native scroller would probably be non-trivial, but I doubt we could reasonably simplify this (RTL is hard).
