Bug 96295 – window.Touch and TouchList should exist when touch events are enabled

• Component: UI Events
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Rick Byers]

W3C TouchEvent spec conformance tests (http://w3c-test.org/webevents/tests/touch-events-v1/submissions/Mozilla/single-touch.html) fail with:
Interface names are correct.	TouchList is not defined

I.e., 'e instanceof TouchList' throws, even when e is in fact an instance of a TouchList.  Maybe something wrong with the bindings here.

Tested on ChromeOS and Android.  I've also hear this fails on Nokia devices (qt port?)

Looks fine, but we need a test.  It should be very easy to test.

Thanks!  I intentionally didn't set r? yet because I still needed a test (just trying to find out which pattern to follow for this sort of test - was a little confused by the existing window property tests, wanted to see what failed in EWS due to the new member - apparently nothing!).  I should have included 'no for review' in the patch description.

Touch is also missing.
TouchEvent exists.

I'm reverting this version (in bug 106071) as it broke a poorly written website's mobile device detection logic.  Instead I think we should add these properties dynamically to temporarily mitigate the compat issue, exactly as we do for window.ontouchstart, etc.

This mostly just re-lands the original patch, except that I also mark all 3 touch event constructors (the 2 new ones, as well as window.TouchEvent) as V8EnabledAtRuntime.  Rather than add 2 new runtime-enabled feature APIs, I consolodated them all under the single 'enableTouch' API.

I tried to write a test that validates all these APIs are undefined when the runtime feature has been disabled, but it's not clear to me how to do it.  Doing it in a LayoutTest via InternalSettings is too late - V8 has already created the window object, etc.  I couldn't find any other example where this is tested (checked a few other V8EnabledAtRuntime features), and given the simplicity of the code I figure it's fine not to explicitly test that.  Let me know if this is really worth trying to test explicitly.
