TouchHandler is always active on RN Web

It looks like this might be a regression. On the example app, the touch is always active, in the hue example, for instance, the knob always follows the cursor no matter what. The Aurora example also showcases the issue too.

The reason for this is that on web the mouse is always active - it is hovering. This might be something you'd like to take advantage over - so that's why it is tracked this way on web.

The workaround is to track wether the touch is active or not in a separate value like this:

const down = useValue(false);
const handler = useTouchHandler({
  onStart() {
    down.current = true;
  },
  onActive() { ... } ,
  onEnd() {
    down.current = false;
  }
})

We can also extend the useTouchHandler API to include a flag with down/pressed info where it will differ on web and always be true for native.

Closing since we are encouraging our users to use gesture handler instead.
