Description
Having draggable elements on touch screen devices doesn't work well in most cases. It interferes with the standard scrolling, dragging an element off the page doesn't scroll it either. Examples: Menus, Widgets, Dashboard (rearranging the layout), Customizer => Menus and Widgets, etc. This is especially bad on Android as drag/drop is disabled for iOS in several places.

The only place we still use touch-punch.js is in iris.js. It is not required but makes selecting a color on a touch device a bit easier. We probably can add it directly there instead of listing it as dependency.
