Re: [webauthn] Add new isPasskeyPlatformAuthenticatorAvailable() method (#1901)

I personally think linking the term `Passkey` to `Discoverable Credential` is artificially limiting and probably a mistake. For example it would be incompatible with how Google currently categorises Passkeys (My non-discoverable yubikey credentials were upgraded from "security key" to "Passkey" in their interface and they work fine for Passwordless auth even though they're not stored as a resident credential).

Passkeys are about passwordless authentication to me.  Usernameless is nice; but this flow is not widely adopted. 

Tying it to Discoverable Credentials causes more confusion than needed in my opinion.  Is my passkey I have for my Google Account not a Passkey anymore? Why not? It works fine for log in.
