Description

We borrow a lot of fields and values from WebAuthn. For internal consistency and consistency with other D-Bus APIs, I think we should convert them to snake_case instead of camelCase, as is more common in JavaScript.

This includes the publicKey field of create/get credential requests, topOrigin (#81), etc.

This is a breaking change to the API.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Search for all struct fields and enum variants defined in D Bus interface files and rename from camelCase to snake case. Update all references and tests.
