Fix pointer event issue selecting pin on map.

On a mobile device that implements pointer events, there are two events that
can happen on an /around page – touching the map starts a new report (or goes
back to the map if already on a report page); touching a pin pulls in that
report’s page. The map touch, which uses an OpenLayers.Handler.Click, operates
on click, whereas the pin touch, which uses an OpenLayers.Handler.Feature,
operates on touchstart. Neither event cancels the other, which means you can
end up either starting a new report, and then it tries to pull in an undefined
pin ID report and errors, or the pin report loads and then you instantly go
back to the map page.

In order to work around this, we disable the map click control when the feature
control event starts, and reactivate once the report data has been loaded.
