Make create() and get() abortable

[balfanz]

We need to make sure that create() and get() are abortable: For example, imagine a web page that gives users the ability to dismiss a dialog or popup that takes the user through an Authenticator registration or assertion-generation process. When the user dismisses that dialog or popup, the Authenticator should be notified to, say, stop blinking, callbacks waiting for the create() or get() results should be rejected, etc.

Presumably, we need to add an AbortSignal parameter to both calls to accomplish this: https://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#aborting-ongoing-activities

Adding this parameter is discussed here: #380. I'd expect that on spec level, we just need to extend the WHATWG HTML spec.

issue #316 may be related.

fwiw, terminology-wise, "abort(able)" is being used equivalently to "cancel(able)", both here in webauthn, and in whatwg-land, eg in the abort/cancel proposal in DOM, Fetch, et al.: whatwg/fetch#447

The latter is being implemented now, and is perhaps (ie needs investigation) what we ought to use for our abort/cancel functionality. See: whatwg/fetch#447 (comment), whatwg/fetch#447 (comment)

Resolving this issue would also resolve #116

@AngeloKai Where do we stand with this ?
