Re: [webauthn] continuous assertion (#1785)

@devsnek There would be consequences of this using the actual authenticator hardware. Specifically, 

1. The authenticator may have a transport that doesn't provide consistent connectivity (e.g. NFC)
2. The authenticator may have throughput limitations on the number of requests it can make. A header authentication might result in quite a few transactions.
3. Likewise, authenticators may take some non-immediate time to operate, although likely always below 1 second.

These may be impacted by the use of extensions as well, such as the device public key extension which may pull in both an additional signature and an attestation process.
