createCredentialsOptions and getCredentialsOptions suggest they create and return a CredentialsOptions object, while they actually create PublicKeyCredentialCreationOptions and PublicKeyCredentialRequestOptions respectively. Introduce createPublicKeyCredentialCreationOptions and createPublicKeyCredentialRequestOptions, keeping the old names as deprecated delegating defaults since 5.x already shipped with them. Also fix the request options javadoc which linked to the creation options dictionary of the spec. Fixes eclipse-vertx#698

As reported in #698,
createCredentialsOptionsandgetCredentialsOptionsread as if they create and return aCredentialsOptionsobject, while they actually createPublicKeyCredentialCreationOptions(fornavigator.credentials.create()) andPublicKeyCredentialRequestOptions(fornavigator.credentials.get()).This introduces
createPublicKeyCredentialCreationOptionsandcreatePublicKeyCredentialRequestOptionsas the primary methods, and turns the old names into@Deprecateddefault methods that delegate — the issue proposed a hard rename while the module was pre-release, but 5.x has since shipped with the old names (andWebAuthn4JHandlerin vertx-web calls them), so a deprecation cycle seemed safer. If a hard break is preferred for the next major, the old defaults are trivial to drop.Naming note: the issue suggested
createPublicKeyCredentialGetOptionsfor the second method; this PR usesRequestOptionsto match the spec dictionary name (PublicKeyCredentialRequestOptions) and WebAuthn4J's own class name — happy to adjust if the original suggestion is preferred.Also fixes the javadoc of the request options method, which linked to the creation options dictionary of the spec, and updates docs/examples to the new names. Tests cover both the new names and the deprecated delegating aliases.
