Re: [pointerevents] Pointermove should not require a hit-test by default

`touch` and `mouse`, yes.  I'm less sure about `pen`.  Technically 
it's a direct-manipulation input device.  In chromium we're expecting 
to have two very different types of pen support.  On Android pen will 
continue to be 'touch-like' (dragging scrolls and fires touch events),
 while on Windows it'll be 'mouse-like' (dragging selects text and 
fires mouse events).  Perhaps the capture behavior should be coupled 
to which type of compatibility events are generated?
