Dmitry S 8a2a14ce74 (core) Fix double-tap on Android failing to select tapped cell; ensure gestures don't get interpreted as double-tap
Summary:
This solves the issue of double-tapping cells when NOT in mobile mode, which is
caused by delayed simulation of click events. (In mobile mode, modern browsers
don't add a delay either way.)

Also avoid unintended opening of the editor by checking that the double-tap is
on the same cell.

Test Plan: Tested manually on iPhone and Chrome emulator.

/**
* Helper to handle 'dblclick' events on either browser or mobile.
*
* This is equivalent to a 'dblclick' handler when touch events are not supported. When they are,
* the callback will be called on second touch within a short time of a first one. (In that case,
* preventDefault() prevents a 'dblclick' event from being emulated.)
*
* Background: though mobile browsers we care about already generate 'click' and 'dblclick' events
* in response to touch events, it doesn't seem to be treated as a direct user interaction. E.g.
* double-click to edit a cell should focus the editor and open the mobile keyboard, but a
* JS-issued focus() call only works when triggered by a direct user interaction, and synthesized
* dblclick doesn't seem to do that.
*
* Helpful links on emulated (synthesized) events:
* - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Touch_events/Supporting_both_TouchEvent_and_MouseEvent
* - https://github.com/w3c/pointerevents/issues/171
