Is there a tag to detect whether a device supports vibration?

flatfish doesn't support Vibration from HW perspective, so vibrate option needs to be removed.

This will need some system work; presently there isn't a flag exposed to JavaScript to determine if a vibration motor is present or not. Sadly, the `navigator.vibrate()` API appears to be designed[1] to silently do nothing if no motor exists, so this would need some sort of behavior change or alternate feature-detect at the system level.

There is also an option in "Settings" -> "Keyboards" -> "Built-in Keyboard" -> "Vibration" that should be removed.

And there is also an option in the Settings app - Personalization - Sound.

So, I changed the summary and component.
