[pointerevents] Expose wheel event scrolling state to DOM events (#591)

sahel-sh has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/pointerevents:

== Expose wheel event scrolling state to DOM events ==
Scrolling on trackpads can give additional information about the state of scrolling that determines the first wheel event of a scrolling sequence (from the time that user starts scrolling till when they lift their fingers). This information helps with optimizations like async wheel events which lets preventDefault call only on the first wheel event of a scroll sequence to cancel the event and the rest of the wheel events in the sequence are non-cancellable.

It should be mentioned in the spec that not all wheel events are cancelable similar to what is mentioned for touchmove events.
