Although it isn't used directly by the ioctls,
"struct fsverity_descriptor" is required by userspace programs that need
to compute fs-verity file digests in a standalone way.  Therefore
it's also needed to sign files in a standalone way.

Similarly, "struct fsverity_formatted_digest" (previously called
"struct fsverity_signed_digest" which was misleading) is also needed to
sign files if the built-in signature verification is being used.

Therefore, move these structs to the UAPI header.

While doing this, try to make it clear that the signature-related fields
in fsverity_descriptor aren't used in the file digest computation.

<title>fs-verity: add SHA-512 support</title>

Add SHA-512 support to fs-verity.  This is primarily a demonstration of
the trivial changes needed to support a new hash algorithm in fs-verity;
most users will still use SHA-256, due to the smaller space required to
store the hashes.  But some users may prefer SHA-512.

Add the UAPI header for fs-verity, including two ioctls:

- FS_IOC_ENABLE_VERITY
- FS_IOC_MEASURE_VERITY

These ioctls are documented in the "User API" section of
Documentation/filesystems/fsverity.rst.

Examples of using these ioctls can be found in fsverity-utils
(https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiggers/fsverity-utils.git).

I've also written xfstests that test these ioctls
(https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiggers/xfstests-dev.git/log/?h=fsverity).
