Description
$(element).simulate('mousedown') does not trigger pointerdown in IE & Edge
$(element).simulate('pointerdown') triggers an error
Same for mouseup vs. pointerup.
This makes portable tests a lot more complex than they could be and derail the purpose of jQuery.simulate for mouse events when targeting IE & Edge.

Research direction
Start by tracing the $(element).simulate('mousedown'), 'mouseup', 'pointerdown', and 'pointerup' entry points described in the issue. Reproduce the behavior in IE and Edge, then make mouse events trigger their pointer counterparts and ensure direct pointer simulation does not error; add or update tests covering these cases.
