RE: [w3c/webauthn] 564b70: Markdown cleanup

Yeah I had to pick a number and went with this. Lots of people use 72 or 80, and some coding guidelines have as high as 180. At least for me, 72 means the left third of the screen so I figured I would go higher. A full-screen Github PR window seems to be about 160-180 chars wide. And of course 128 is a power of 2, which is important to CS types :)

If there is consensus on a different number we can always rewrap to that, it's not particularly difficult.

No changes to substance here. Goal of this change is to make the spec
easier to work on, not to fix the content.

- Wrap all lines at 128 chars (wide enough for modern screens, small
enough to fit in most commonly-sized windows)

hm, well, this is way wider than I typically wrap spec source files, but I suppose I can live with it since my editor will soft-wrap those long lines...
