Add DiscoverCredentials method

In order to support autofill scenarios, we need to provide a method that allows a user to silently discover the existence of credentials.

Some considerations on the design:

• should we allow cross-origin requests (probably specific to credential type)? Is that even meaningful?
• what data should we return?

Prior art

WebAuthn

• [[DiscoverFromExternalSource]](origin, options, sameOriginWithAncestors)-
• silentDiscoveryOperation

DiscoverableCredentialMetadata includes the following fields:

{
  "type": "public-key",
  "id": "credentialID",
  "rpId": "example.com"
  "userHandle": "abcdefghi1n",
  "otherUI": ??
}

Android

I have no idea how Android allows browsers to do credential discovery.
docs

Apple

Browser API:

platformCredentials(
    forRelyingParty relyingParty: String
) async -> [ASAuthorizationWebBrowserPlatformPublicKeyCredential]

struct ASAuthorizationWebBrowserPlatformPublicKeyCredential {
  /// A string the person can supply to describe this credential.
  let customTitle: String

  /// The user name for the account associated with this credential.
  let name: String

  /// The name of the app that manages this credential, or “iCloud Keychain” if it’s the operating system.
  let providerName: String

  /// The relying party that issues challenges for this credential.
  let relyingParty: String

  /// A unique identifier for the user account at the relying party.
  let userHandle: Data

  /// The identifier the operating system uses for this credential.  
  let credentialID: Data
}

Returns metadata for passkey. Returns credential ID, RP ID, user ID, user name and provider name.

Credential provider side:

ASCredentialProviderViewController.prepareCredentialList(
    for: [ASCredentialServiceIdentifier],
    requestParameters: ASPasskeyCredentialRequestParameters
)

docs

Receives a list of "service identifiers" (URL, domain or app ID), which the credential provider should use to pull up a list of for display.

Allows retrieving credential metadata by RP ID, with flag for browser private mode. Returns credential ID, RP ID, user ID and other information.

Nell'issue non sono indicati né un file sorgente né un test. Inizia esaminando i riferimenti a WebAuthn silent-discovery e le API delle credenziali di Android, Apple e Windows citate qui, quindi determina le regole cross-origin, i metadati restituiti e il contratto del metodo D-Bus; il lavoro è completato quando queste questioni di progettazione sono risolte nella DiscoverCredentials API proposta.
