dm-verity: add dm-verity keyring
Add a dedicated ".dm-verity" keyring for root hash signature verification, similar to the ".fs-verity" keyring used by fs-verity. By default the keyring is unused retaining the exact same old behavior. For systems that provision additional keys only intended for dm-verity images during boot, the dm_verity.keyring_unsealed=1 kernel parameter leaves the keyring open. We want to use this in systemd as a way add keys during boot that are only used for creating dm-verity devices for later mounting and nothing else. The discoverable disk image (DDI) spec at [1] heavily relies on dm-verity and we would like to expand this even more. This will allow us to do that in a fully backward compatible way. Once provisioning is complete, userspace restricts and activates it for dm-verity verification. If userspace fully seals the keyring then it gains the guarantee that no new keys can be added.
