Document: exitPointerLock() method

The exitPointerLock() method asynchronously releases a pointer lock previously requested through Element.requestPointerLock.

Note: While the exitPointerLock() method is called on the document, the requestPointerLock() method is called on an element.

To track the success or failure of the request, it is necessary to listen for the pointerlockchange and pointerlockerror events.
