Re: [webauthn] Provide API for indicating whether the platform has attached(bound) authenticator or not (#1218)

> (a) The authenticator is enabled (feature turned on) and (b) user verification method (like PIN or biometrics) is enrolled on the authenticator (c) if it supports uv.

Well, given the description of [the isUserVerifyingPlatformAuthenticatorAvailable() Method (isUVPAA())](https://www.w3.org/TR/webauthn/#isUserVerifyingPlatformAuthenticatorAvailable) it is [client platform](https://www.w3.org/TR/webauthn/#client-platform)-specific as to (a) and (b).  The intent of that method is to answer the (c) question.  

Perhaps isUVPAA() ought to be more rigorously specified wrt (a) and (b)?  I'm not sure whether that would be viewed as reasonable by client platform implementors.
