Github PR: https://github.com/w3c/touch-events/pull/43

Existing behaviour in Chrome for Android (and I believe Safari on iOS
as well) is to dispatch a click even if preventDefault is called on
the first touchmove. The only default action that is prevented in this
case is panning. The above updates the spec to match this behaviour.
We are updating Firefox OS to match this behaviour as well in
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1174532 and its
dependency. Firefox on Android will inherit this behaviour in the near
future when it switches to using the same platform code that Firefox
OS uses.

This is my first PR to a W3C repo, please let me know if I screwed up
the process. Thanks!

Cheers,
kats
