Description
Similarly to #424, we may want to allow generating hedged ECDSA signatures, as per draft-irtf-cfrg-det-sigs-with-noise.
Unlike in EdDSA, there should be essentially no observable difference to doing so, since ECDSA signatures are already randomized today.

Research direction
Start by reading the issue, the related #424 discussion, and the linked draft on signatures with noise. Determine the Web Cryptography API changes needed to allow hedged ECDSA signatures; done means the proposal is sufficiently specified for implementation and interoperability review.
