Re: [webauthn] Define Public Key Credential Source and Credential ID.

@jyasskin: if I understand correctly, [you are suggesting](https://github.com/w3c/webauthn/pull/620#issuecomment-338787049) these _**further**_ changes to add to this PR..
> * Credential ID -> Credential Source ID
> * assertion -> credential globally
> * PublicKeyCredentialDescriptor -> PublicKeyCredentialSourceDescriptor

..yes?

Those above suggestions would be breaking changes.  It might be possible to convince folks to do "Credential ID -> Credential Source ID" -- it would only (breaking) change [`credentialidlength`](https://w3c.github.io/webauthn/#credentialidlength) and [`credentialid`](https://w3c.github.io/webauthn/#credentialid) in section [#sec-attested-credential-data](https://w3c.github.io/webauthn/#sec-attested-credential-data). 

Otherwise, IIUC, I do not support the other two changes at this time, and am not sure they would buy us that much in general. Those latter two changes, especially renaming "assertion", would be quite invasive, both editorially and technically (ie, in renaming API components, section names, terminology, etc, senses). 

In any case, I have detail-level comments that I'm working on entering in that I generally support _**this**_ PR's present substance.
