The WGC clarified that you don't need permissions to call
PublicKeyCredential.isUserVerifyingPlatformAuthenticatorAvailable()orPublicKeyCredential.getClientCapabilities()in w3c/webauthn#2251 (comment). This removes the correspondingNotAllowedexception.The PR also adds the SecurityException for all methods in this API, because a secure context is requried.
This fell out of work done in #37516
