Re: [webauthn] Remove authenticatorDisplayName from L3 (#2187)

>On the call it was pointed out that this is a bit odd, as this is not necessary for the protocol to work, so it seems strange to specify it so explicitly - if anything, an informative note should suffice.

To be fair, it's listed in the OPTIONAL items section; so I don't think it's "odd" at all. That same argument would suggest that the other OPTIONAL items should be removed too since they are also "not necessary for the protocol to work".

_If_ it's retained, then a decision would have to be made on whether it's dynamic or not. Currently in the authentication section it's allowed to change but only via the `credProps` extension which will no longer have it. Either that will have to be changed to reference some unnamed way for an RP to change it or it's a static value only set during registration.
