Re: [webauthn] Attestation privacy advice creates large scale security risks (#1127)

@emlun Proposing this compromise:

> A WebAuthn authenticator manufacturer, should produce large enough batch of the authenticators, that are shipped with the same attestation key. In the same time the batch size shall be low enough to ensure that in case of attestation key compromise, the least amount of users is affected. This approach ensures that users privacy is preserved, due to the size of batch, while ensuring sufficient risk management in case of compromise of the attestation keys on the device.

> For example: FIDO protocols require that at least 100,000 authenticator devices share the same attestation keys and certificate in order to produce sufficiently large groups. This may serve as guidance about suitable batch sizes.
