Description

field names of credentialsd_common::model::Credential type are confusing/flipped: name is an ID/username, and username is a name. We should rename them (or just use the names from the WebAuthn spec).

Contributor guide

Research direction
Locate the Credential struct in credentialsd common::model and rename its fields as specified. Then update all references throughout the project.
