[pointerevents] Add section explaining what coalesced and predicted events actually *are* in layperson's terms (#361)

patrickhlauke has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/pointerevents:

== Add section explaining what coalesced and predicted events actually *are* in layperson's terms ==
While the spec explains the functions and the lists of events, if doesn't have any kind of soft introduction/explanation of what these actually *are*, maybe with a few tiny graphics/examples. Explaining how user agent/OS does this coalescing/predicting internally, that particularly for drawing/high precision applications authors will want the non-coalesced events, how the predicted events can help with apparent responsiveness (e.g. "draw ahead to the predicted one, though be prepared to backtrack/redraw when the actual event comes in"). This should be a high-level section, like the current "Compatibility Mapping with Mouse Events" for instance.
