[webauthn] Merged Pull Request: Precisize "platform" and "device" terminology

equalsJeffH has just merged emlun's pull request 998 for https://github.com/w3c/webauthn:

== Precisize "platform" and "device" terminology ==
This mitigates #358 and #462.

- Add "client platform" definition
- Rewrite/remove most unqualified uses of "platform"; main exception is "platform-provided" in the context of the Android attestation statement formats
- Rewrite/qualify most uses of "device"

This should eliminate from #358:

- Platform
  - a platform
  - underlying platform
  - underlying OS platform
  - [this|the] client platform
  - client's platform
  - [this|the] platform
  - user agent and/or platform

and from #462:

- CLIENT:
  - client
  - client device
  - client platform
  - (not "client-side", but #997 takes care of most of what remains of that)
- Device
  - computing device
  - user's computing device
  - see also 'client device'
- PLATFORM:
  - All sub-items except:
    - Android "N" or later platform
    - Android platforms
