Add allow-pointer-capture sandboxed iframe flag

Project Member Reported by rbyers@chromium.org, Jan 11 2017

Issue description

See discussion at https://github.com/w3c/pointerevents/issues/16 and in issue 606896.

As pointer events gain adoption there is greater risk that sandboxed iframes may come to depend on using setPointerCapture.  Talking with dtapuska@ we think we should just follow the pattern of allow-pointer-lock (or it's feature-policy-centric future) and add allow-pointer-capture.

Summary: Add allow-pointer-capture sandboxed iframe flag (was: Add allow-pointer-lock sandboxed iframe flag)
/cc scheib@ in case he's got any reason why we shouldn't just copy the pattern used by "allow-pointer-lock"

Comment 2 by scheib@chromium.org, Jan 11 2017

I've engaged in discussion on https://github.com/w3c/pointerevents/issues/16 - initially pointing out that I don't think allow-pointer-capture is necessary if entering capture is only possible for elements that are receiving events from a pointer.

Assigning to myself for now until we make a decision of the approach we want to take.
