Disable Pointer Events logging by default

[xhwang-chromium]

Right now when using EME logger, by default it'll log Pointer Events that happened on the HTMLVideoelement (see below for an example). This adds a lot of noise to the log.

We should disable logging Pointer Events by default.

Looks like it not only pointer events, there are also mouse event etc

It looks like we can add all these events into the skipEvents in eme-trace-config.js. But I hope there's a better way...

@joeyparrish Do you have any suggestions? Thanks!

I think adding them all to skipEvents seems reasonable, but if you're hoping for a better way, make a pitch! What sort of solution would you like better?
