Re: [webauthn] U2F Attestation Statement Format does not define "self attestation" steps

Well, _technically_ self attestation is just a special case of basic attestation with an anonymous attestation public key. So everything an authenticator needs to do for self attestation is also possible as a basic attestation - you just have to jump through a few more hoops to do it, which all U2F authenticators necessarily do already because U2F only supports x5c certificates for delivering the attestation public key.

So I think it should be safe to drop the self attestation type from the fido-u2f format.
