Revise reference to "PDA" in example of Keyboard interface

​The Example in Keyboard Interface definition uses the term PDA (Personal
Digital Assistant), which a term we never hear any more. Do we want to
update that with something more current in WCAG 2.1? Perhaps simply the
agnostic term "device"

===Current===
Example: A touchscreen PDA has a keyboard interface built into its
operating system as well as a connector for external keyboards.
Applications on the PDA can use the interface to obtain keyboard input
either from an external keyboard or from other applications that provide
simulated keyboard output, such as handwriting interpreters or
speech-to-text applications with "keyboard emulation" functionality.

===Proposed===
Example: A touchscreen device has a keyboard interface built into its
operating system as well as a connector for external keyboards.
Applications on the device can use the interface to obtain keyboard input
either from an external keyboard or from other applications that provide
simulated keyboard output, such as handwriting interpreters or
speech-to-text applications with "keyboard emulation" functionality.
