IMA-appraisal, upstreamed in linux-3.7, enforces local file integrity based on
a known 'good' value stored as an extended attribute 'security.ima'. Labeling
the filesystem is currently done post install using a local private key.
Including file signatures in the package provides not only file integrity, but
file provenance.

This patch set extends the existing rpm signing tool to include file 
signatures in packages, and adds a plugin that installs file signatures using
the psm_post hook. 

There are new options to rpmsign - signfiles and fskpath.

rpm --addsign [--signfiles [--fskpath <file signing key>]] PACKAGE_FILE ...

Signfiles signs all the file digests included in the package with libimaevm
and stores the signatures in the package header under the tag
RPMTAG_FILESIGNATURES. The file signing key can be provided with the option
fskpath, or in a macro file with %_file_signing_key.

After including file signatures, the packages are signed normally.

When a package with signed files is installed, rpmfilesPopulate extracts file
signatures from the package header and stores them (in binary) in rpmfiles
struct. Then the ima plugin instantiates the psm_post hook and writes the file
signatures to security.ima xattr.

Changelog v5:
-config file signatures are filtered and not installed
-removed rpmfiFSignatureHex because it wasn't used
-added guard to file signature code in rpmfilesPopulate
-fixed whitespace in rpmfi.c
-reordered patches to fix dependencies

Changelog v4:
-split patch set into more patches
-added file signature interfaces to rpmfi
-fixed types and buffer sizes
-removed double logging of errors
-removed changes to API/ABI
-moved file signature installation to ima plugin
-removed support for inline signing of files

Changelog v3:
-split up patch

Changelog v2:
-support for inline signing of files
-command line option for file signing key
-include missing file
-fixed typo in rpmDigestAlgo
