Implements the ability to store passkeys in the vault

How to test

Checkout this branch, then install dependencies with npm i (npm ci didn't worked, where npm i somehow worked in my case)
Enable feature flag for the extension. As I didn't figured out how to do this properly, I changed the values there and there to make them always return true
Follow the docs to build and install the modified extension in your browser (I installed it in a custom profile)
Go to a website supporting passkeys. I used passkeys.io, and also tested against webauthn.io but any website supporting webauthn should actually work, then register your key

Demo

Notes

Upstream PR: bitwarden/server#2679
Tested on Brave 1.54.65 Chromium: 114.0.5735.133 (Official build) nightly (64 bits)
The feature isn't released yet, but there shouldn't be any big changes as Vaultwarden doesn't type the properties of ciphers the way upstream server does

Checkout [this branch](https://github.com/bitwarden/server/tree/EC-598-beeep-properly-store-passkeys-in-bitwarden), then install dependencies with `npm i` (`npm ci` didn't worked, where `npm i` somehow worked in my case) 2.
