Add host-key document verification support to genprotimg. This ensures
that a host-key document is genuine and provided by IBM. For this the
user must provide the IBM Z signing key, the intermediate CA
certificate (signed by the root CA used) so a chain of trust starting
from the host-key document and ending in the root CA can be
established.
By default, genprotimg tries to download all revocation lists needed
by looking up in the corresponding certificate on how CRL information
can be obtained (see https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5280#section-4.2.1.13
for details).

Protected VMs (PVM) are KVM VMs, where KVM can't access the VM's state
like guest memory and guest registers anymore. Instead the PVMs are
mostly managed by a new entity called Ultravisor (UV), which provides
an API, so KVM and the PV can request management actions.
PVMs are encrypted at rest and protected from hypervisor access while
running. They switch from a normal operation into protected mode, so
we can still use the standard boot process to load an encrypted image
and then move it into protected mode.
This commit adds the tool 'genprotimg'. It takes a kernel, key files,
optionally an initrd, optionally a file with the kernel command line,
and it generates a single, loadable image file. The image consists of
a concatenation of a plain text boot loader, the encrypted components
for kernel, initrd, and cmdline, and the integrity-protected PV
header, containing metadata necessary for running the guest in PV
mode.
It's possible to use this image file as a kernel for zipl or for a
direct kernel boot using QEMU.
