Description

When menu is opened, using standalone trigger, it is closed by clicking outside the menu on mousedown event.

Reproduction

1. Go to the CDK menu examples page: https://material.angular.io/cdk/menu/examples.
2. Open the menu using "Click me!" button under "Menu with Standalone Trigger".
3. Click outside the menu.

Expected Behavior

Menu should be closed using mouseup event to comply with WCAG Level A - 2.5.2 criterion (https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/#pointer-cancellation)

Actual Behavior

Menu is closed with mousedown event.
The same bahavior appears in CDK v15 - https://v15.material.angular.io/cdk/menu/examples
But not in v14 - https://v14.material.angular.io/cdk/menu/examples

Also latest Material Menu component works as expected - https://material.angular.io/components/menu/examples
