signed values
Traditionally, TPM2 PCR policies are bound against literal PCR values,
which makes them hard to work with when updating software that is
measured into PCRs: each update will change the PCR values, and thus
break TPM2 policies of existing objects.
Let's improve the situation: let's allow signed PCR policies. Secrets
and other TPM2 objects can be associated with a public key that signs a
PCR policy. Thus, if the signed policy and the public key is presented,
access to the TPM2 object can be granted. This allows a less brittle
handling of updates: for example, whenever a kernel image is updated a
new signed PCR policy can be shipped along with it, signed by a private
key owned by the kernel vendor (ideally: same private key that is used
to sign the kernel image itself). TPM2 objects can then be bound to the
associated public key, thus allowing objects that can only be unlocked
by kernels of the same vendor. This makes it very easy to update kernels
without affecting locked secrets.
This does not hook up any of the consuming code (just passes NULL/0
everywhere). This is for later commits.
