Title: Add Pointer Events

The [form control validation feedback icons](http://getbootstrap.com/css/#forms-control-validation) interfere with focus actions.

You can prevent this with [`pointer-events: none;`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/pointer-events). It's definitely not a critical feature, but it's nice to have for [browsers that support it](http://caniuse.com/pointer-events). It seems like it represents the intuitive UX principle because the icon is styled as if it was *inside* the input box, so I would expect clicking anywhere inside of it would give the input focus.

Here's a [fiddle that demonstrates this issue](http://jsfiddle.net/KyleMit/U63qA/)

Here's a screenshot illustrating the difference:
