Re: [webauthn] truncation to 64-byte upper limit doesn't mention character boundaries

As a browser, we're not going to trust the data coming from an authenticator. So even if the spec says that the authenticator must handle UTF-8 correctly and truncate only whole code points, we're still going to UTF-8 validate the data and handle abrupt truncation. So the authenticator might as well not bother.

On the other hand, knowing that the string was truncated would be useful.
