Pin press/release seem swapped in the simulator

[riknoll]

For this program:

If you press P0 in the simulator, nothing happens until the pin is released. Then, the released event fires before the pressed event (shows 1 and then 0).

Looking at this bug it seems the behaviour is slightly mismatched between the simulator and the microbit, however pressed is not equivalent to [press down] on either.
What should the resolution be here?

Currently:
onPinPressed = EVT_CLICK
onPinReleased = EVT_UP

We don't surface any blocks for EVT_DOWN. (which is what on pressed is assumed as in this context).

#997 may also be interesting.

This has become stale...
Here are the possible fixes

• Do nothing; "Press" will continue to mean a full click, down -> up (current behavior)
• Change "Press" to mean down
• Change "Press" to mean down and also add a "Click" event that means down -> up

Do nothing. Revisit later.
