Re: [webauthn] non-modal "conditionally mediated" UI (#1576)

Cleaning up a couple of old to-do items: Where `options.mediation` is tested for the value of "conditional", update the Note to link to the step further below where the "...user interacts with an \<input> form control...", and also mention that the `get()` simply not resolving rather than throwing exceptions is handled in Credman.

Additionally, in earlier discussion with @nsatragno, she emphasized that we "have to ensure we do not return exceptions when doing conditional UI, even if the user's authnr or other things are not right.  However, if the webdev has made an error of some form, then we should return an error right away."  I think an example of the latter sort of webdev error would be if they use the "webauthn" autofill detail token on their form control but do not set `options.mediation` to "conditional".

Also, we have been discussing the actual name of the autofill detail token.  Some candidates are: "webauthn", "credential", "conditional", and is currently not decided.  The requisite changes to the HTML spec have not yet been proposed, and this will be a discussion item once the latter proposal (as a PR on the HTML spec) is put forward.
