Remove lifetime from the Event

Lifetimes don't work nicely when dealing with multithreaded environments
in the current design of the existing winit's event handling model, so
remove it in favor of `Weak` fences passed to client, so they could
try to update the size.

Fixes #1387.

+- **Breaking:** Remove `PartialEq` implementation from the event.
+- **Breaking:** Remove `lifetime` from the event.
 - On iOS, always wake the event loop when transitioning from `ControlFlow::Poll` to `ControlFlow::Poll`.
 - **Breaking:** `ActivationTokenDone` event which could be requested with the new `startup_notify` module, see its docs for more.
 - On Wayland, make double clicking and moving the CSD frame more reliable.
