Re: [mediacapture-surface-control] What about touch-based scrolling? (#54)

I believe the way to future-proof is simple. We either:
* Take my proposal [here](https://github.com/w3c/mediacapture-surface-control/issues/49#issuecomment-2472836197), using `forwardGestures()` that accepts a dictionary. Look specifically for "Future-proof for pinch".
* Use a method called `forwardWheel()`, allowing us to introduce `forwardX()` and `forwardY()` in the future.

It is important to note that forwarding of anything other than wheel events is:
1. Not currently requested by any Web developers. As of the time of writing.
2. Not guaranteed to be supported by Chrome - we'd have to evaluate the security of such a proposal.

We should focus on solving the problem we currently care about, and only make sure we avoid painting ourselves into a corner. Future extensions should be dealt with in the future.
