Re: [webauthn] Consider allowing cross-domain credential use (#1372)

Putting another hole in the same-origin policy with a new facet-like mechanism isn't necessary for the consumer example; our permissions issue in #1336 aside, the iframe mechanisms are or will be sufficient to avoid redirects, even though they aren't in Level 1.

The enterprise example is rather unconvincing; I've certainly worked in such environments before, but I don't see why WebAuthn should have to adopt significant security and protocol complexity to facilitate a legacy authentication design.  

The goals of WebAuthn never included needing to tie cleanly into multi-domain LDAP/AD sync systems, and shouldn't: It's plenty complex as it is.
