Support for WebDriver BiDi

[jimevans]

Description

The current iteration of the WebAuthn spec supports automated testing via an integration with WebDriver. This support should be extended to support WebDriver BiDi. The work here is largely ceremonial, as the definitions of the JSON payload does not need much alteration, if any, to be usable in WebDriver BiDi. As an example of another spec that has already enabled this support, one can look to the Permissions spec.

I reached out to our browser automation team. There's a hope that BiDi can replace WebDriver classic at some point. However, the classic automation has worked well for WebAuthn and is well supported by all major browser vendors, unlike BiDi at the moment.

I am not opposed to extending support to BiDi, but I don't think this is work we would prioritize.

@nsatragno I think that's short-sighted, though I understand the position.
