#17023: Investigate fingerprinting of mouse/pointing events

Comment (by arthuredelstein):
Things that worry me:
* `MouseEvent.mozInputSource` is designed to report the type of pointing
device being used. Maybe we should always spoof this to
`MouseEvent.MOZ_SOURCE_MOUSE`?
* `MouseEvent.buttons` reports if the user is using a mouse with unusual
buttons ("Browser Forward", "Browser Back"). Suppress all but left, right,
middle buttons?
* `MouseEvent.movementX/Y`: Are these movements quantized in a hardware-
dependent manner?
* `MouseEvent.mozPressure`: Do we want to reveal that the user is using a
touch-sensitive pointing device?
* WheelEvent.deltaX/deltaY/deltaZ: Are these quantized in a hardware-
dependent way?
* WheelEvent.deltaWheel: Is this value determined by hardware or platform?
(I don't see any additional potential problems for DragEvent).
