Restate data minimisation claims a little

Issue #1368 resolved
Joseph Heenan created an issue

As discussed on https://bitbucket.org/openid/ekyc-ida/issues/1366/requesting-sub-claims-of-address-claims it’s not currently possible to request subclaims of the address claim - I think we should more explicitly call this out. e.g. https://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-4-identity-assurance-1_0.html#section-6.1 currently says:

Use of the claims parameter allows the RP to exactly select the Claims about the End-User needed for its use case. This extension therefore allows RPs to fulfill the requirement for data minimization.

“exactly” could be removed, and I think this could have an additional sentence added something along the lines of:

”Note that it is currently only possible to request entire claims, for example there is no syntax that allows only the ‘country’ subclaim of the ‘address’ claim to be returned.”

    I have re-written this as follows to allow for a potential future stae where it is possible (AKA Advanced Syntax for Claims)…

    Use of the `claims` parameter allows the RP to request specified Claims about the End-User needed for its use case. This allows RPs to fulfill the requirements for data minimization by requesting only required Claims. Note: it is not possible to request sub-claims (for example the ‘country’ subclaim of the ‘address’ claim) using mechanisms from OpenID Connect Core or this draft.
