Summary: Implement and ship `PointerEvent.altitudeAngle` and
`PointerEvent.azimuthAngle`.
They are in the scope of Interop 2024 Events.
Pointer Events include two complementary sets of attributes to express
the orientation of a transducer relative to the X-Y plane: `tiltX` /
`tiltY` (introduced in the original Pointer Events specification), and
`azimuthAngle` / `altitudeAngle`. These sets of attributes can be
converted each other and we've already implemented `tiltX` and `tiltY`.
So, the new attributes will let web apps know the computed value from
`tiltX` and `tiltY` if a pointer event is fired to represent a user input.
