Define `TypeError` behavior during `.get()`

[MasterKale]

Proposed Change

@nsatragno called out a couple weeks back that it's odd there's no definition of a TypeError being raised from a call to .get() when the options value is invalid:

https://github.com/w3c/webauthn/pull/2047#discussion_r1655429301

We should address this after merging #2047.

I reckon this is inherited from the JavaScript-to-WebIDL language bindings? See for example the conversion routine for dictionary types (which include PublicKeyCredentialCreationOptions and PublicKeyCredentialRequestOptions):

3.2.17. Dictionary types [...] A JavaScript value jsDict is converted to an IDL dictionary type value by running the following algorithm (where D is the dictionary type):

1. If Type(jsDict) is not Undefined, Null or Object, then throw a TypeError. [...] 4.1.3.1. Let idlMemberValue be the result of converting jsMemberValue to an IDL value whose type is the type member is declared to be of. [...] 4.1.5. Otherwise, if jsMemberValue is undefined and member is required, then throw a TypeError.

We don't explicitly state in the WebAuthn spec that this conversion must occur, but it clearly must since the API is defined in WebIDL and the actual implementation is exposed in JavaScript. See also:

§3.2. JavaScript type mapping [...] [...] For each IDL type, it is described how JavaScript values are converted to an IDL value when passed to a platform object expecting that type, [...]

§2.12. Objects implementing interfaces [...] Platform objects are objects that implement an interface.

...which would for example include the PublicKeyCredential interface.

I'm in favour of #2047 mentioning that TypeError is one of the errors RPs may expect, but I don't think WebAuthn needs to explicitly define how these particular TypeErrors should be thrown - I figure that should be handled by WebIDL already.

I was able to address this easily enough in #2047, the TypeError definition in the Create exceptions was generalizable enough for Get too:

2047 has been merged so I'm closing this as done
