[webauthn] PublicKeyCredentialDescriptor.id needs a more precise definition

jcjones has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/webauthn:

== PublicKeyCredentialDescriptor.id needs a more precise definition ==
The [PublicKeyCredentialDescriptor](https://www.w3.org/TR/2017/WD-webauthn-20171205/#credential-dictionary) defines its member `id` as:
https://github.com/w3c/webauthn/blob/33ac796035b250d29ddf056ac044319825128104/index.bs#L1885

It's a [credential id](https://www.w3.org/TR/2017/WD-webauthn-20171205/#credential-id), but the existing definition makes it sound very confusable with [PublicKeyCredentialUserEntity.id](https://www.w3.org/TR/2017/WD-webauthn-20171205/#dom-publickeycredentialuserentity-id) which is a `user handle`:

https://github.com/w3c/webauthn/blob/33ac796035b250d29ddf056ac044319825128104/index.bs#L1595-L1597

Let's update that PublicKeyCredentialDescriptor.id definition to cross-link in [credential id](https://www.w3.org/TR/2017/WD-webauthn-20171205/#credential-id).
