Allow the data to be verified in a PKCS#7 or CMS message to be passed
directly to an asymmetric cipher algorithm (e.g. ML-DSA) if it wants to do
whatever passes for hashing/digestion itself. The normal digestion of the
data is then skipped as that would be ignored unless another signed info in
the message has some other algorithm that needs it.
The 'data to be verified' may be the content of the PKCS#7 message or it
will be the authenticatedAttributes (signedAttrs if CMS), modified, if
those are present.
This is done by:
(1) Make ->m and ->m_size point to the data to be verified rather than
making public_key_verify_signature() access the data directly. This
is so that keyctl(KEYCTL_PKEY_VERIFY) will still work.
(2) Add a flag, ->algo_takes_data, to indicate that the verification
algorithm wants to access the data to be verified directly rather than
having it digested first.
(3) If the PKCS#7 message has authenticatedAttributes (or CMS
signedAttrs), then the digest contained therein will be validated as
now, and the modified attrs blob will either be digested or assigned
to ->m as appropriate.
(4) If present, always copy and modify the authenticatedAttributes (or
signedAttrs) then digest that in one go rather than calling the shash
update twice (once for the tag and once for the rest).
(5) For ML-DSA, point ->m to the TBSCertificate instead of digesting it
and using the digest.
Note that whilst ML-DSA does allow for an "external mu", CMS doesn't yet
have that standardised.
