Touch and TouchEvent constructors

Category: User input
Type: New or changed feature
Status: Enabled by default (Chrome 48)
Intent stage: None

Summary

The constructor creates a Touch/TouchEvent object from an init dictionary like other event types, also able to initialize UIEvent fields. More favorable than the old "document.create... + e.init..." way.
