[webauthn] Issue: Clarify which sign. algm.'s RP's must support (Sec. 4.3.2.1.2) marked as type:editorial

equalsJeffH has just labeled an issue for 
https://github.com/w3c/webauthn as "type:editorial":

== Clarify which sign. algm.'s RP's must support (Sec. 4.3.2.1.2) ==
Current text states "The following algorithms must be implemented by 
servers:" and goes on to list target signing methods.  But the text 
later says "WebAuthn Relying Parties must implement all the algorithms
 implemented by the authenticators that they support."

The two statements seem to contradict each other.  For instance, if an
 RP does not support any authenticators that implement ECDAA then it 
does not seem to be necessary for the RP to implement ECDAA.  Would 
recomment changing "The following algorithms must be implemented by 
servers:"  to "One or more of the following algorithms must be 
implemented by servers (depending on the authenticators that servers 
support):"
