Re: [webauthn] Add a `hints` element for both `create` and `get`. (#1884)

I like the idea to have a property where a rp can put generic hints for the user interface. And not limit it in any way to  selection of the authenticator.

I would vote for two additional hints:
* _mechanism-selection_: Indicates that the rp should show the "landing page" with the list of all options
* _cable-qrcode_: Indicates that the rp should show the QR Code to initialize cable

Furthermore it would be nice as browser to have the ability to specify custom hints which are not defined (yet) in the spec. That would provide the opportunity to adopt quickly and later (if it makes sense) integrate them into the spec. As far as I know same mechanism is used in CSS specification. Then it is necessary to specify a pattern for browser specific prefixes (e.g. `-<browsername>-<hintname>`)
