measure: add new tool to precalculate PCR values for a kernel image
For now, this simply outputs the PCR hash values expected for a kernel image, if it's measured like sd-stub would do it. (Later on, we can extend the tool, to optionally sign these pre-calculated measurements, in order to implement signed PCR policies for disk encryption.)

+
+ <para>Note: this command is experimental for now. While it is likely to become a regular component of
+ systemd, it might still change in behaviour and interface.</para>
+
+ <para><command>systemd-measure</command> is a tool that may be used to pre-calculate the expected TPM2
+ PCR 11 values that should be seen when a unified Linux kernel image based on
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-stub</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry> is
+ booted up. It accepts paths to the ELF kernel image file, initial ram disk image file, devicetree file,
+ kernel command line file,
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>os-release</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> file, and
+ boot splash file that make up the unified kernel image, and determines the PCR values expected to be in
+ place after booting the image. Calculation starts with a zero-initialized PCR 11, and is executed in a
+ fashion compatible with what <filename>systemd-stub</filename> does at boot.</para>
