Re: [webauthn] Delete per RP ID Signature counters

I think the decision to include signature counters has been settled at this point.

I think the suggestion in the spec that signature counters be per-RP (rather than per-credential) was probably just a mistake? We do not otherwise assume that an RP gets to learn information about other credentials for that RP in the same authenticator, as far as I can recall. (Indeed the term “per-RP” only appears in this context in the spec.)

@emlun points out that we also have an inconsistency in the spec too: [here](https://www.w3.org/TR/webauthn/#sign-counter) we say “Authenticators MUST implement a signature counter feature” but [here](https://www.w3.org/TR/webauthn/#verifying-assertion) (step 17) a zero signature counter is allowed.

(I obviously think that we should align with the latter of the two.)
