Currently egui will prevent all web events from propagating. This causes issues in contexts where you are using egui embedded in a larger context that wants to receive events that egui does not directly respond to. For example, currently using egui in a VSCode extension will block all app hotkeys, such as saving and opening the panel. This adds a closure to `WebConfig` that takes in a reference to the egui event that is generated from a web event and returns if the corresponding web event should be propagated or not. The default for it is to always return false. Alternatives I considered were: 1) Having the propagation filter be a property of the focus in memory. That way it could be configured by the view currently selected. I opted away from that because I wanted to avoid lowering eframe implementation specific stuff into egui. 2) Having events contain a `web_propagate` flag that could be set when handling them. However, that would not be compatible with the current system of egui events being handled outside of the web event handler.

I would be happy to switch this over to a different architecture if there are suggestions.
