We currently have handling for the case where a `mousedown` event is thrown off by a fake `mousedown` listener that may be dispatched by a screen reader when an element is activated. It turns out that if the device has touch support, screen readers may dispatch a fake `touchstart` event instead of a fake `mousedown`. These changes add another utility function that allows us to distinguish the fake events and fix some issues where keyboard focus wasn't being shown because of the fake `touchstart` events. Fixes angular#21947.
