Re: [pointerevents] [touch actions] handwriting manipulation type to distinguish panning (#516)

If a developer specifies `touch-action: handwriting;` they have specified (through omission) that panning is not expected / allowed. So if a device supports handwriting it can start handwriting, and otherwise, it will do nothing. This seems fine - they may have added a pointermove listener that records the pen strokes.

This doesn't just apply for devices that don't support handwriting. If you specify `touch-action: handwriting` at the root, even on a device / platform that supports handwriting only starting near some elements (`contenteditable=true` / `<input>` / `<textarea>`) will actually be able to start writing.
