Proposed answer to AGWG comment issue 375 ("easily available" not in definition format )

https://github.com/w3c/wcag21/issues/375

Proposed answer:

My proposal:
Remove the term "easily" in Success Criterion 2.2.7 Interruptions (Minimum). Instead of "A mechanism is easily available..." the SC text would then simply read:

    A mechanism is easily available to postpone and suppress interruptions and changes in content, unless they are initiated by the user or involve an emergency.

We can then also remove the definition.
Rationale: How easy it is to avail yourself of a mechanism is not testable. The current definition does is unclear and does not help to decide / test unambiguously whether somthing is 'easily' available or not.
