Re: [webauthn] Should race condition be added as a reason for a signature counter not increasing? (#2172)

That requires the RP server to know the user handle at the beginning of the ceremony which is not always the case. For non-discoverable requests this is always true since the server needs to know the user handle in order to fetch the registered credentials; however for discoverable requests, the server may not know the user handle until the authentication response is sent (i.e., [`AuthenticatorAssertionResponseJSON.userHandle`](https://w3c.github.io/webauthn/#dom-authenticatorassertionresponsejson-userhandle) is received by the server).
