User gesture for touch scrolling (removed)

No longer allow opening pop-ups (and other sensitive operations) to occur during input events which represent a touch scroll. In particular, touchstart and touchmove listeners now never have a user gesture. touchend listeners do have a user gesture unless the user was scrolling / pinching. Builds on https://www.chromestatus.com/feature/5649871251963904.
