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

I'm afraid it is too late to make passkey a synonym of discoverable credentials. There is no hint of discoverability in the [FIDO Alliance definition](https://fidoalliance.org/passkeys/)

> Based on FIDO standards, passkeys are a replacement for passwords that provide faster, easier, and more secure sign-ins to websites and apps across a user’s devices. Unlike passwords, passkeys are always strong and phishing-resistant.​
> Passkeys simplify account registration for apps and websites, are easy to use, work across most of a user’s devices, and even work on other devices within physical proximity.​

Of course you can ignore FIDO Alliance verbiage in W3C spec, but will it make adoption easier?
