Add ability to pass in target data for the oslopolicy-checker1.41.0

This allows us to test the policy for other services which might have
different or unusual target data formats (such as Barbican). It would be
possible to pass it as a nested dictionary, e.g.:

{
    "target": {
        "secret": {
            "project_id": "my project id"
        }
    }
}

or as a key pair (as oslo.policy would expect):
{
    "target.secret.project_id": "my project id"
}

Both will work (note that this logic was taken from barbican).

This fixes around the limitation that the target is hardcoded to be
"project_id", and thus allows to test more scenarios (such as the
project ID not matching).
