Subject: [PATCH] [iOS] Move incognito passkey creation warning after RP ID validation

Resolve a security vulnerability where the incognito creation warning
interstitial was presented to the user before validating the relying
party identifier (RP ID).

Previously, the interstitial was triggered in PasskeyJavaScriptFeature
upon receiving a script message, before performing origin and RP ID
validation. This allowed unauthorized origins to spoof browser UI
warnings and trigger unwanted user interactions.

This CL refactors the flow to move all interstitial logic and
presentation into PasskeyTabHelper, ensuring the OTR warning is
shown only during HandleRegistration after strict
OriginIsAllowedToClaimRelyingPartyId checks and remote validation
have successfully passed.
