Description

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
As I understand it, Veramo currently only supports the [W3C V1 Verifiable Credential Data Model](https://www.w3.org/TR/vc-data-model/) (VCDM) via the [credential-w3c](https://veramo.io/docs/api/credential-w3c/) package. Is there or will there be intent to support the [V2 VCDM](https://www.w3.org/TR/vc-data-model-2.0)?

**Describe the solution you'd like**
We would like to see support for the [W3C V2 Verifiable Credential Data Model](https://www.w3.org/TR/vc-data-model-2.0) in Veramo, either through an update to the existing credential-w3c package or by creating a new package specifically for V2 VCDM support.

**Describe alternatives you've considered**
As an alternative, we are considering creating our own plugin to support the V2 VCDM and maintaining it ourselves. However, we believe it would be beneficial for the Veramo community to have native support for the latest W3C standards.

**Additional context**
While the V2 VCDM is still in draft, we believe it would be beneficial for the Veramo community to have a roadmap for supporting the [W3C V2 Verifiable Credential Data Model](https://www.w3.org/TR/vc-data-model-2.0) once it is finalised. This will help keep Veramo up-to-date with the latest standards and ensure compatibility with other systems and libraries that will likely adopt the new model.
