This selftests shows a proof of concept method to use BPF LSM to enforce
file signature. This test is added to verify_pkcs7_sig, so that some
existing logic can be reused.

This file signature method uses fsverity, which provides reliable and
efficient hash (known as digest) of the file. The file digest is signed
with asymmetic key, and the signature is stored in xattr. At the run time,
BPF LSM reads file digest and the signature, and then checks them against
the public key.

Note that this solution does NOT require FS_VERITY_BUILTIN_SIGNATURES.
fsverity is only used to provide file digest. The signature verification
and access control is all implemented in BPF LSM.
