[pointerevents] Should the `click` event be retargeted when a <menuitem> is selected via mousedown-drag-mouseup? (#560)

mfreed7 has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/pointerevents:

== Should the `click` event be retargeted when a <menuitem> is selected via mousedown-drag-mouseup? ==
This is a mirror issue in the PE repo for https://github.com/openui/open-ui/issues/1312. Happy to discuss here or there, but FWIW I think more of the practical discussion of the menu API will be done there, in OpenUI.

TL;DR: for `<menuitem>` elements, and perhaps `<select>`/`<option>`, it might be good to redefine the target for the synthetic `click` event so that it's more intuitive for mousedown-drag-mouseup type interactions.
