Re: [pointerevents] Specify that "click", "dblclick" and "contextmenu" events are PointerEvents?

[Looks 
like](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-ca/library/ms536914(v=vs.85).aspx)
 IE has had some version of this back to IE11.  After some discussion 
it sounds like the design we think makes the most sense is:

- All browser generated `click`, `dblclick`, `contextmenu` events 
would be of type `PointerEvent`
- `click()` and keyboard-initiated `click`/`contextmenu` events would 
have `pointerType=""` 
- we'll treat `DragEvent` as a separate (low priority) issue (filed 
#106).

Next step is to check to see to what extent Edge already matches this 
design.  @teddink says he'll do this.  As @smaug---- says, specing 
this properly will be hard.  But perhaps we can just start with 
something partly hacky here in the PE spec and then try to get it 
integrated into the correct places.
