Improve outside click on Safari iOS #1712

  1. ensure outside click works on Safari in iOS

    When tapping on an element that is not clickable (like a div), then the
    `click` and `mousedown` events will not reach the
    `window.addEventListener('click')` listeners.
    
    The only event that does that could be interesting for us is the
    `pointerdown` event. The issue with this one is that we then run into
    the big issue we ran in a few months ago where clicks on a scrollbar
    *also* fired while a click doesn't.
    
    This issue was not an issue in React land, the
    `window.addEventListener('click')` was fired even when tapping on a
    `div`. This was very very confusing, but we think this is because of the
    syntethic event system, where the event listener is added to the root of
    your application (E.g.: #app) and React manually bubbles the events.
    Because this is done manually, it *does* reach the window as well.
    
    The confusing part is, how does React convert a `pointerdown` event to a
    `mousedown` and `click`. There is no code for that in their codebase?
    
    Turns out they don't, and turns out the events **do** bubble, but up
    until the `document`, not the `window`. But since they are manually
    bubbling events it all makes sense.
    
    So the solution? Let's switch from `window` to `document`...
