Re: [webauthn] User verification policy leads to ambiguous usage situations. (#1510)

I'll echo Shane's initial point: the user verification requirement is a property of the _ceremony_, not of a credential. For example, one might allow both UV and a conventional password as the second factor for initial sign-in, but require hardware UV for signing a legal document. Specifying separate UV requirements per credential is moot, then, because any response without UV would be rejected anyway.

As for the different login scenarios: for username-less logins you by definition cannot specify per-credential UV requirement. "Username-ful" (I guess would be the term?) logins would usually prompt for a password first anyway, and if not, you can still use `uv: "preferred"` and prompt for the password afterwards if the response comes back with UV=0.
