fix(ngTouch): deprecate ngClick and disable it by default
This commit deprecates the ngClick directive from the ngTouch module.
Additionally, it disables it by default. It can be enabled in the new $touchProvider with
the $touchProvider.ngClickOverrideEnabled() method.
The directive was conceived to remove the 300ms delay
for click events on mobile browsers, by sending a synthetic click event on touchstart.
It also tried to make sure that the original click event that the browser sends after 300ms
was "busted", so that no redundant "ghost-clicks" appear.
There are various reasons why the directive is being deprecated.
- "This is an ugly, terrible hack!" (says so in the source)
- It is plagued by various bugs that are hard to fix / test for all platforms (see below)
- Simply including ngTouch activates the ngClick override, which means even if you simply want
to use ngSwipe, you may break parts of your app
- There exist alternatives for removing the 300ms delay, that can be used very well with Angular:
[FastClick](https://github.com/ftlabs/fastclick), [Tappy!](https://github.com/filamentgroup/tappy/)
(There's also hammer.js for touch events / gestures)
- The 300ms delay itself is on the way out - Chrome and Firefox for Android remove the 300ms delay
when the usual `<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">` is set. In IE, the
`touch-action` css property can be set to `none` or `manipulation` to remove the delay. Finally,
since iOs 8, Safari doesn't delay "slow" taps anymore. There are some caveats though, which can be
found in this excellent article on which this summary is based: http://developer.telerik.com/featured/300-ms-click-delay-ios-8/
Note that this change does not affect the `ngSwipe` directive.

BREAKING CHANGE:
The `ngClick` override directive from the `ngTouch` module is **deprecated and disabled by default**.
This means that on touch-based devices, users might now experience a 300ms delay before a click event is fired.
If you rely on this directive, you can still enable it with the `$touchProvider.ngClickOverrideEnabled()`method:
```js
angular.module('myApp').config(function($touchProvider) {
$touchProvider.ngClickOverrideEnabled(true);
});
```
For migration, we recommend using [FastClick](https://github.com/ftlabs/fastclick).
Also note that modern browsers remove the 300ms delay under some circumstances:
- Chrome and Firefox for Android remove the 300ms delay when the well-known `<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">` is set
- Internet Explorer removes the delay when `touch-action` css property is set to `none` or `manipulation`
- Since iOs 8, Safari removes the delay on so-called "slow taps"

Note that this change does not affect the `ngSwipe` directive. M
