[webauthn] Merged Pull Request: Add privacy consideration about terminating getAssertion early

emlun has just merged emlun's pull request 687 for https://github.com/w3c/webauthn:

== Add privacy consideration about terminating getAssertion early ==
Related issues: #184, #204 . Loosely related: #140 .

This adds a privacy consideration note to [§5.1.4. Use an existing credential to make an assertion][get] about the privacy implications of terminating before the timer expires.

The PR also includes some language changes to the waiting condition in both [§5.1.3. Create a new credential][create] and [§5.1.4. Use an existing credential to make an assertion][get] which are needed to make the privacy consideration text meaningful, and which were probably already intended.
