[Android] CollectionView item selection not triggered when using PointerGestureRecognizer

[LogishaSelvarajSF4525]

Description

When a PointerGestureRecognizer is added to the ItemTemplate of a CollectionView, tapping an item on Android does not trigger the SelectionChanged event and the item is not selected.
This occurs because the PointerGestureRecognizer intercepts the pointer input and prevents the CollectionView from processing the selection gesture.

In 10.0.50 version(issue reproduced)	In 10.0.41 version(issue not reproduced)

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a new .NET MAUI application. CVIssue.zip
2. Add a CollectionView to a page.
3. Set the SelectionMode of the CollectionView to Single or Multiple.
4. Add an ItemTemplate containing a Grid.
5. Inside the Grid, add a PointerGestureRecognizer with PointerEntered and PointerExited events.
6. Implement the SelectionChanged event for the CollectionView.
7. Run the application on Android.
8. Tap any item in the CollectionView.
9. Observe whether the item is selected or not.

Expected Behavior: When tapping an item in the CollectionView, the item should be selected and the SelectionChanged event should be triggered.
Actual Behavior: When PointerGestureRecognizer is used inside the ItemTemplate, tapping an item does not select the item and the SelectionChanged event is not triggered.
