ima: support fs-verity file digest based version 3 signatures

IMA may verify a file's integrity against a "good" value stored in the
'security.ima' xattr or as an appended signature, based on policy.  When
the "good value" is stored in the xattr, the xattr may contain a file
hash or signature.  In either case, the "good" value is preceded by a
header.  The first byte of the xattr header indicates the type of data
- hash, signature - stored in the xattr.  To support storing fs-verity
signatures in the 'security.ima' xattr requires further differentiating
the fs-verity signature from the existing IMA signature.

In addition the signatures stored in 'security.ima' xattr, need to be
disambiguated.  Instead of directly signing the fs-verity digest, a new
signature format version 3 is defined as the hash of the ima_file_id
structure, which identifies the type of signature and the digest.

The IMA policy defines "which" files are to be measured, verified, and/or
audited.  For those files being verified, the poli...
