Issuer indication of PoP requirement in Credential Request. #89

Description

@cobward

Apologies for the out-of-order PR-then-issue, I didn't realise an issue was required for raising a PR.

As stated in #87:

Currently a wallet has no way of knowing whether the issuing authority requires a proof of possession in the Credential Request. From my point of view there are two ways we can remedy this:

  1. Add a parameter in the credentials_supported issuer metadata object that indicates whether a PoP is required.
  2. Add some normative text which would require wallets to send a PoP if proof_types_supported in the credentials_supported issuer metadata object is not omitted and contains at least one element.

Personally I prefer explicit indication over implied so I have raised the PR showing option 1, but I am open to other opinions and options.
