highlight text/element selection and visually response to selection API when double clicked

[futurist]

Steps to reproduce

Tell us about your environment:

• Puppeteer version: 1.17.0
• Platform / OS version: macOS 10.14.4
• URLs (if applicable): http://bennadel.github.io/JavaScript-Demos/demos/selection-range-rects/
• Node.js version: 12.4.0

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Please include code that reproduces the issue.

// simulate dblclick on text
async function init () {
  const browser = await puppeteer.launch({
    headless: false,
    defaultViewport: null
  })
  const page = (await browser.pages())[0]
  await page.goto('http://bennadel.github.io/JavaScript-Demos/demos/selection-range-rects/')
  await page.mouse.move(573, 199)
  await page.waitFor(50)
  // simulate dblclick
  await page.mouse.down()
  await page.waitFor(50)
  await page.mouse.up()
  await page.waitFor(50)
  await page.mouse.down()
  await page.waitFor(50)
  await page.mouse.up()
  await page.waitFor(50)
}
init()

What is the expected result?
Should like normal browser, double click on text should highlight the word.

What happens instead?
No selection highlight happened on word, and the text selection is collapsed.

I've monitored the page again, and find the above double click way actually only triggered 2 click events, no dblclick, is this intentional or a bug?

@futurist this might be helpful - this is how they implement the dblclick https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/blob/v0.11.1/src/input.ts#L248
