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

@emlun If I understand correctly, "identity" has other connotations that we don't want to apply to the private key owned by an authenticator, even though I agree that the private key can be used to authenticate as an identity.

@equalsJeffH I've rebased, but I haven't gone through @rlin1's comments to see what other terminology we should update if we stick with "Credential Source" as the name of the private key and associated information. If you can endorse particular items, I'll update their names in a new commit.

* Credential ID -> Credential Source ID
* assertion -> credential globally
* PublicKeyCredentialDescriptor -> PublicKeyCredentialSourceDescriptor
