modsign: Extract signing cert from CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_KEY if needed
Where an external PEM file or PKCS#11 URI is given, we can get the cert from it for ourselves instead of making the user drop signing_key.x509 in place for us. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

- Provide the file name of a private key in PKCS#8 PEM format, or

+ Provide the file name of a private key/certificate in PEM format,
+ or a PKCS#11 URI according to RFC7512. The file should contain, or
+ the URI should identify, both the certificate and its corresponding
+ private key.
If this option is unchanged from its default "signing_key.priv",
then the kernel will automatically generate the private key and
