Re: [webauthn] Add support for non-modal UI (#1545)

I think it could also be interesting to give browsers an option to initiate passwordless login directly, for sites with resident credential registration. The browser could visit a URL that directly communicates the intention, and receives a streamlined challenge rather than having to load a bulkier login page.

This could either be a fixed URL like `https://example.com/.well-known/login/resident-key` (note that we already have a vague precedent for `/.well-known/change-password`) or field/extension that the site sets at registration time.

This:
- Matches the existing direction of the WebAuthn spec in taking login UX choices out of the site's hands and leaving them to the browser.
- Would provide a more consistent experience for the user.
- Makes it simpler for RPs to know what they need to implement this, without having to make customized decisions about how to adapt their login flow.
