Allow synthetic mouse events to be dispatched to form controls

Project Member Reported by dtapu...@chromium.org, Apr 20 2017 
Seems that:

target.dispatch(new MouseEvent("click")); fails but
target.dispatch(new Event("click")); works

Example URI:

Edge doesn't get in the way.
FireFox allows some events to work.

Add use counter for dispatching mouse events on disabled form controls.

We need to determine if this code actually executes in the wild. I doubt
it really does with any high occurrence. Edge, FireFox behave differently.

dtapsuka@ Any insight from UseCounter added in #2 that can help us make a decision on this issue?

Comment 3 by dtapu...@chromium.org, Oct 19 2017 

We need to adjust the use counters to add specifically dispatching mouseup/down at form controls
