Since caBLE isn't offered on Linux, Chrome's WebAuthn UI on Linux should treat it as if it isn't there

Project Member Reported by cbrand@google.com, Yesterday (25 hours ago) 
Since we don't support caBLE on Linux right now, Chrome on Linux should not erroneously let the user believe the caBLE will be tried. Instead, it should be treated as if the transport is "not supported" falling the user back to other transports (if available) or showing a WebAuthn error if not.

Hm, technically caBLE does work on Linux if there is a BLE adapter. Commonly, this is a BLE dongle, although not all BLE dongles work.

We can completely disable caBLE on Linux, which would remove this option from the UI, but right now it's enabled.

Are we seeing cases on Linux where users who do not have BLE are getting the caBLE prompt?

Ooh. Very interesting!

Yes, we did see it from some, but we weren’t sure whether it was linux or a
phone issue.

Let’s leave this as-is then until we can figure out the phone-side issues.
