If we managed to register our captured event handler before another instance it can happen that we steal the gesture from the other instance. E.g. the user clearly swipes horizontal but once they swiped long enough they drifted over the vertical threshold and we will start stealing the gesture.

Fixes #1697
On my system touchegg had a gesture configured for four finger swipe down which would mess with this gesture but idk if that's just on my system. If the gesture is configured for you too just kill touchegg and you can test this.
To test make sure you enable it via dconf editor and not via the settings because that would also enable the touchegg gesture which also messes with this.
I'm not sure how the old gesture worked but I decided to go for swipe up -> maximize, swipe down -> unmaximize.
It will animate a tile from the window position to maximized and from maximized to the old window position. I'd be happy about some UX input here whether it's ok like it's currently or what could be improved :)
