As we're going to be working on pinch-zooming on desktop in the near future, it would facilitate testing if pinch-zoom gestures could be triggered on non-touchscreen devices as well.

I'm thinking of hooking up something like Alt+mousewheel to generate pinch-zoom events, behind a pref. (Alt+mousewheel is currently hooked up to do page navigation, but I'm happy to stomp on that for testing purposes.)

I ended up doing something a little more flexible: I hooked into the existing framework for customizing wheel actions by adding a new wheel action, ACTION_PINCH_ZOOM (numerical value 5), which users can set as the value of e.g. "mousewheel.with_alt.action" to get Alt+mousewheel to do pinch-zooming, or "mousewheel.with_shift.action" for Shift+mousewheel, and so on.
This is a patch that demonstrates what prefs need to be flipped to enable pinch-zooming on desktop (with Alt+mousewheel as the trigger in this example). I don't intend to land this.
(The first patch isn't really necessary, it's a relic from an older implementation strategy where I would check the modifiers in APZCTreeManager directly, but it still feels more correct to propagate the modifiers, so I'm leaving it.)

I'd prefer to initialize this in the constructors rather than here

The TruncatedToInt here makes me a little uneasy. In the long run it would probably be better to make CreatePinchGestureInput take a ScreenPoint instead of a ScreenIntPoint so that we don't truncate down and then convert it back to a float inside the function. But you don't need to do that in this bug.

yay removal of pre-existing trailing whitespace! :)

Nice work! This turned out much cleaner than I thought it would be :)

Sigh. I made the Eclipse project generator turn on the "Remove trailing whitespace on edited lines" setting in bug 1432919, but it looks like I still have the occasional Eclipse instance lying around that doesn't have that set.

Fixed.

Done, though I don't really see the point: we went from specifying the initial value in one place, to specifying it in three places (as there are three constructors), and if someone adds a new constructor, there is a risk of them forgetting to initialize it.

Fixed. It was a very easy change to make since IntPointTyped converts implicitly to PointTyped.

Yeah, the existing infrastructure for wheel action prefs came in very handy for this change.
I don't want to land this without a Try push, and bug 1458703 is preventing me from doing Try pushes.
