Connect YUI to Windows host input, accessibility, and editing services.

```yh
external thing yuiWindowsHostInputEvent
```

- bool changed: Stores changed as bool.
- text kind: Stores kind as text.
- int sequence: Stores sequence as int.
- nativePointerRecord pointer: Stores pointer as nativePointerRecord.
- bool shiftDown: Stores shift down as bool.
- bool controlDown: Stores control down as bool.
- bool altDown: Stores alt down as bool.
- text diagnostic: Stores diagnostic as text.
- yuiWindowsHostInputEvent(bool changed, text kind, int sequence, nativePointerRecord pointer, bool shiftDown, bool controlDown, bool altDown, text diagnostic): Yui windows host input event.
- PointerEdge() returns bool: Pointer edge.
- Describe() returns text: Describe.
