The main purpose of this PR is to "fix" the unwanted clicking of cards during swiping on mobile devices, that has been pointed out quite a few times in https://community.home-assistant.io/t/lovelace-swiper-card/72447. It does so by turning the event propagation order around for touchend (used to identify clicks in most cases) from bubbling to capture. This way the event can be stopped from reaching the cards in case swiping was performed. Before, the touchend would start at the cards and propagate back to this component, so the click action would always be performed.

This is probably not the best way of doing things (I am by no means a web developer) and it is not very well tested (my only use case is with some button cards). So I'm throwing this out there to get some feedback, would be very nice to see this issue fixed.

This change prevents touchend events from reaching the cards by turning
the event propagation order around (from bubbling to capture). It
probably does not cover all uses-cases, but should work find with all
cards utilizing the "longpress" implementation in lovelace (the
@ha-click attribute for instance).

Thanks for the PR, I have to dive into this, and don't have the time at the moment. Will get back asap!

No worries! One thing that you could argue is missing is a check it touch is supported. In the end it doesn't matter, but it would be nice.

OK, sorry for the wait. Will look into this this week. Have you experienced any problems or all good?

No worries! I've been using it a lot on my phone and it works very good in my particular use cases. You cannot, however, place other touch components (like an input_number In slider mode), in a card. That will just act weird.
