Re: [w3c/payment-request] Add hasEnrolledInstrument() (#833)

Chrome would return the `hasEnrolledInstrument()` truthfully for the built-in `basic-card` payment method. The feature detection matters for Chrome, because the old implementation of `canMakePayment()` was checking for instruments, whereas the new implementation would not be doing that. The only way for a website to determine which is which is to check for `hasEnrolledInstrument()` in the case of Chrome. Sorry about our legacy shipped code! :-(

Privacy and Security section changes sound reasonable.

Did you have in mind returning `NotAllowedError` similar to `canMakePayment()`? That sounds OK.
