Re: [pointerevents] Clarify touch/pen click target (#563)

For example:
If a button opens a menu on `pointerdown`, or `pointerup` or a bit after but still before `click`, and the menu positions itself over the button, then the `click` event will fire on the menu, or on anything that ends up covering the button.

Basically, what the user tapped isn't the important part; what matters is what is on the screen 1–15 ms after `pointerup`.
I can't say this behavior is wrong, but it still feels a bit strange to me.
