Re: [pointerevents] Multi-pen support and persistent pointerId (#353)

Following up on the conversation from the [deviceId I2S](https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/blink-dev/c/3eU-AHH8x4k/m/_-4jK0qQAQAJ?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer).

I think we should only have a deviceId when we can uniquely identify a particular pointer. 

> "pointer" (i.e. finger), in which case it may be that we want the name to suggest something about the contact, rather than "device" which suggests something about the device which was contacted with.
I think excluding touch from deviceId seems reasonable, at least to me, since I would not expect my individual fingers to be identified, but I can understand the rationale behind this question. I think my vocabulary isn't big enough or an alternative name :P ... it would need to emphasize that the pointer event has the same source device though.
