Update hoverIntent to r7

[joel_birch]

I'd like to request that hoverIntent be updated to ​hoverIntent r7.

hoverIntent.js has just been updated to support event delegation whilst still being backward-compatible. My Superfish menu plugin requires this, meaning that when users set hoverIntent as a dependency they have to dequeue WordPress's version of hoverIntent and requeue the updated version, which is awkward, and their dropdown menus will not work at all without it.

Also, whatever WordPress uses hoverIntent for should benefit from using event delegation in future.

upgrade hoverintent to r7, both full and minified version (via uglify)

Added patch to update hoverintent to r7. This new version required jQuery 1.9.1+, which is what's being bundled with 3.6, so it runs with no problem (as long as people aren't using their own version of jQuery, which they shouldn't be anyway).

Wasn't sure if I should add has-patch here or a Core maintainer does that (my first Core patch, be gentle).

Minified version is not needed in the patch.

upgrade hoverintent to r7, full version only

[mjbanks]

Added revised patch with only the full version

If you add a patch, you should add the has-patch keyword yourself. Most committers look at tickets with has-patch first so they can commit those. If it needs extra testing, add needs-testing, and if it needs someone else to look over it, add dev-feedback. Simple! :)

We should remove the minfied version at some time, see #21769.

@mjbanks:

Can you please update wp-includes/admin-bar,js too? It includes the minified version.
