Comment:

 This function is only really used in core to determine whether a browser
 support touch, which is better done client side. See #33704. I think this
 function's days are numbered.

 I presume this particular issue manifests itself by not showing action
 links on list tables in iPad Safari? If so, we should switch to client
 side detection for this, or just remove the show-actions-on-hover
 functionality.
