Remarks

Launches the necessary flows to register an app credential for the user.

The execution can potentially launch UI flows to collect user consent to creating or storing the new credential, etc. Callers (e.g. browsers) may optionally set origin in CreateCredentialRequest for an app different from their own, to be able to get credentials on behalf of that app. They would need additional permission CREDENTIAL_MANAGER_SET_ORIGIN to use this functionality
