Add pointer capture API for stable drag handling

Add minimal pointer capture API to gpui::Window:
- capture_pointer(hitbox_id): starts capture for the given hitbox
- release_pointer(): releases capture
- captured_hitbox(): returns the captured hitbox, if any

When captured, HitboxId::is_hovered() returns true for the captured
hitbox regardless of actual hit testing. Capture is automatically
released on MouseUpEvent.

This enables drag operations (like scrollbar thumb dragging) to
continue working even when the pointer moves outside the element's
bounds during the drag.
