upstream: Add support for FIDO webauthn (verification only).
webauthn is a standard for using FIDO keys in web browsers. webauthn signatures are a slightly different format to plain FIDO signatures - this support allows verification of these. Feedback and ok markus@ OpenBSD-Commit-ID: ab7e3a9fb5782d99d574f408614d833379e564ad

215The W3C/FIDO webauthn[1] standard defines a mechanism for a web browser to
216interact with FIDO authentication tokens. This standard builds upon the
217FIDO standards, but requires different signature contents to raw FIDO
218messages. OpenSSH supports ECDSA/p256 webauthn signatures through the
219"webauthn-sk-ecdsa-sha2-nistp256@openssh.com" signature algorithm.
220
221The wire encoding for a webauthn-sk-ecdsa-sha2-nistp256@openssh.com
222signature is similar to the sk-ecdsa-sha2-nistp256@openssh.com format:
223
224 string "webauthn-sk-ecdsa-sha2-nistp256@openssh.com"
225 string ecdsa_signature
226 byte flags
227 uint32 counter
228 string origin
229 string clientData
230 string extensions
231
232Where "origin" is the HTTP origin making the signature, "clientData" is
233the JSON-like structure signed by the browser and "extensions" are any
234extensions used in making the signature.
