Re: [webauthn] Define 1024 bytes to be the maximum credential ID length. (#1664)

My question was also answered on the call: the thing that "exactly fill[s] the state space of a bit string of a certain length" is the _length_ of the value - so limiting the length to 2<sup>N</sup>-1 means the _length_ encoding doesn't need one more bit just to be able to encode the value 2<sup>N</sup>.
