Repeatedly calls `block` to handle gestures. If there is a `CancellationException`, it will wait
until all pointers are raised before another gesture is detected, or it exits if `isActive` is
`false`.

`awaitEachGesture` does the same thing without the possibility of missing events between
gestures, but also lacks the ability to call arbitrary suspending functions within `block`.
