[Web] Check only the handlers recorded for the same pointer - #4672

On web, a Manual gesture that is never finished stays in BEGAN after the finger lifts, and from then on every RNGH button on the page is dead: Touchable, Pressable, RectButton, inside or outside the detector. The same happens with a finger resting elsewhere on the screen while another taps a button (#4627 on Android).
Since #4127 a button asks, when it is recorded, whether it may begin given the handlers already recorded, and refuses any that is not simultaneous with it, not on its own view and not a hover. The orchestrator passed its whole gestureHandlers list, which also holds handlers from other pointers and handlers left in BEGAN with no pointers at all, so the button was cancelled before it began.
recordHandlerIfNotPresent now takes the pointer being recorded and passes only the handlers already tracking it. Every handler adds the pointer to its tracker before recording itself and pointerdown bubbles deepest-first, so those are exactly the handlers under the button on this press. The call from HoverGestureHandler has no pointer and passes an empty list. PointerTracker gets isTrackingPointer for the lookup. Same change as #4632 on Android.
New tests in GestureHandler.test.ts: a handler left in BEGAN with no pointers, one tracking another pointer, and a record without a pointer no longer block a new handler; one tracking the same pointer still does. Three of the four fail without the change.
Empty example with a Touchable inside a useManualGesture detector, one outside it, and a bare detector counting onBegin, in Chrome: both buttons count every tap, the onBegin counter stays at 1. Same numbers as Android and iOS with the stacked fix.
Tested on the following code:
import{typeReactNode,useState}from'react';import{StyleSheet,Text,View}from'react-native';import{GestureDetector,Touchable,useManualGesture,}from'react-native-gesture-handler';functionManualGestureWrapper(props: {children: ReactNode}){constgesture=useManualGesture({});return(<GestureDetectorgesture={gesture}><Viewcollapsable={false}>{props.children}</View></GestureDetector>);}functionCounterButton(props: {label: string}){const[count,setCount]=useState(0);return(<Touchablestyle={styles.button}underlayColor="#001a72"onPress={()=>setCount((c)=>c+1)}><Textstyle={styles.label}>{props.label}</Text><Textstyle={styles.counter}>{count}</Text></Touchable>);}// The manual gesture does not wrap a button here. The counter bumps on// `onBegin`, so once the gesture is left in BEGAN it stops at 1 until the// gesture is finished.functionManualGestureCounter(){const[count,setCount]=useState(0);constgesture=useManualGesture({runOnJS: true,onBegin: ()=>setCount((c)=>c+1),});return(<GestureDetectorgesture={gesture}><Viewstyle={styles.button}><Textstyle={styles.label}>Manual gesture, onBegin</Text><Textstyle={styles.counter}>{count}</Text></View></GestureDetector>);}exportdefaultfunctionDemo(){return(<Viewstyle={styles.container}><Textstyle={styles.hint}>
Manual gestures begin on the first touch and are never finished.
</Text><ManualGestureWrapper><CounterButtonlabel="Button inside manual gesture"/></ManualGestureWrapper><CounterButtonlabel="Button outside"/><ManualGestureCounter/></View>);}conststyles=StyleSheet.create({container: {flex: 1,padding: 20,gap: 12,},hint: {fontSize: 14,color: '#666',marginBottom: 8,},button: {flexDirection: 'row',alignItems: 'center',justifyContent: 'space-between',backgroundColor: '#001a72',borderRadius: 12,paddingVertical: 16,paddingHorizontal: 20,},manualArea: {flexDirection: 'row',alignItems: 'center',justifyContent: 'space-between',backgroundColor: '#782aeb',borderRadius: 12,paddingVertical: 32,paddingHorizontal: 20,},label: {fontSize: 16,fontWeight: '500',color: 'white',},counter: {fontSize: 20,fontWeight: '700',color: 'white',minWidth: 32,textAlign: 'right',},});
Improved web gesture handling when multiple pointers are active. Gestures now distinguish between pointers, preventing activity on one pointer from incorrectly blocking or canceling a gesture associated with another. This also fixes cases where a gesture could remain blocked after its pointer was no longer active.
Web gesture registration now passes the pointer ID to the orchestrator. The orchestrator checks only recorded handlers tracking that pointer. PointerTracker exposes a query for whether it tracks a pointer ID.
PointerTracker exposes isTrackingPointer. The orchestrator uses it to pass only handlers tracking the supplied pointer to the begin check. GestureHandler.onPointerDown supplies the pointer ID. Tests cover matching, different, and absent pointer IDs, and a handler left in BEGAN after its pointer is removed.
No merge-blocking failure was established. A test of the real pointer-down path would improve regression coverage.

Explanation
The title "[Web] Check only the handlers recorded for the same pointer" matches the main change. The PR limits the new handler's begin check in GestureHandlerOrchestrator.recordHandlerIfNotPresent to handlers that track the same pointer. It also adds an optional pointerId parameter, an isTrackingPointer query in PointerTracker, and tests that cover the new behavior. The title is specific and short, and a reviewer scanning history would understand the primary change.

What changed in this PR
This PR scopes web button-start checks to handlers tracking the same pointer, preventing unfinished manual gestures or unrelated touches from blocking buttons. It mirrors the Android fix in #4632 while preserving same-pointer blocking behavior.
Changes:
Adds a pointer-tracking lookup and passes the current pointer ID when recording handlers.
Filters recorded handlers by pointer, using an empty list for calls without a pointer.
Adds four regression tests covering stale handlers, different pointers, shared pointers, and pointerless recording.
Add a test that runs the real onPointerDown path with a refusing handler.
The same-pointer tests call recordHandlerIfNotPresent(button, 1) directly. They never call onPointerDown, so the event.pointerId argument at GestureHandler.ts:344 is not covered. If that argument were dropped or changed, the new tests would still pass. No existing test combines onPointerDown with a refusing begin-check. Add a test that sends a pointer-down event through onPointerDown on an ExclusiveTestGestureHandler and asserts the conflict is enforced for the same pointer.
