Implement Pointer Lock specification on iOS/iPadOS.

As of iOS 14, there now exists the GCMouse API in GameController.framework that provides raw relative mouse motion events.

We're getting complaints that users can't play our game (https://narrow.one) with a mouse on iPad. I'd love to see this get added since our game already supports the pointer lock api.

2024 and iPadOS/iOS still does not support Pointer Lock API.

Users can play any touch or controller input game on the web, but not keyboard + mouse input games because of the lack of pointer Lock API for iOS/iPadOS.
