Re: [webauthn] Add two abort paths for getting an assertion

@agl 

Sorry, you're right - credential existence is only revealed if some algorithm path results in immediate response to the RP. If all paths lead to a user prompt, there should be no issue. I retract my objection.

>Do you mean that it could be merged with the subsequent case because the actions are almost identical?

Yes, I mean to either merge them or somehow say that "If the user exercises a user-interface option to cancel the process" is just another way to set the abort signal. I was imagining that as the "obvious" way for the browser would implement it, but I'll admit I don't really know how those signals work or are usually used. But it might be worthwhile to mention that explicitly, and I see how doing both in the subsequent case would probably be clumsy. If there's a good way to cover both with the same case then that would be preferable, but I'm fine either way.
