[w3c/webpayments] Proposal to restore charter text around UI being out of scope (Issue #262)

The [current charter](https://www.w3.org/Payments/WG/charter-2022.html) dropped the following two sentences from [§2.1 Out of Scope](https://www.w3.org/Payments/WG/charter-2022.html#out-of-scope) that were present in the [previous charter](https://www.w3.org/Payments/WG/charter-201912.html) ([diff](https://services.w3.org/htmldiff?doc1=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2FPayments%2FWG%2Fcharter-201912.html&doc2=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2FPayments%2FWG%2Fcharter-2022.html)):

> User interface specifics are out of scope; this Working Group is chartered to Recommend programming interfaces, not user interface specifics. However, it is in scope for the Working Group to discuss user experience, for example as part of understanding user journeys during a checkout experience.

My understanding from chatting with @ianbjacobs is that this change was made to facilitate some requirements in SPC, but it's unclear to me if such a change was actually necessary to enable SPC to contain those requirements. Many web platform specifications contain requirements that touch on the user experience while staying away from user interface specifics, e.g. the [show a notification](https://notifications.spec.whatwg.org/#showing-a-notification) steps require **that** a notification be displayed but does not say **how** notifications are displayed.

If it's agreeable to the working group, I'd be happy to prepare a PR for the charter that restores this text. I'm not sure which repo the charter text lives in, though.
