ima: add critical data measurement for loaded policy

IMA policy can be written multiple times in the securityfs policy file
at runtime if CONFIG_IMA_WRITE_POLICY=y. When IMA_APPRAISE_POLICY is
required, the policy needs to be signed to be loaded, writing the absolute
path of the file containing the new policy:

echo /path/of/custom_ima_policy > /sys/kernel/security/ima/policy

When this is not required, policy can be written directly, rule by rule:

echo -e "measure func=BPRM_CHECK mask=MAY_EXEC\n" \
        "audit func=BPRM_CHECK mask=MAY_EXEC\n" \
     > /sys/kernel/security/ima/policy

In this case, a new policy can be loaded without being measured or
appraised.

Add a new critical data record to measure the textual policy
representation when it becomes effective. Include in the
architecture-specific policy the new critical data record only when it
is not mandatory to load a signed policy. Additionally, enable the
policy serialization code even when CONFIG_IMA_READ_POLICY=n.

To verify the template data hash value, convert the buffer policy data
to binary:
grep "ima_policy_loaded" \
        /sys/kernel/security/integrity/ima/ascii_runtime_measurements | \
        tail -1 | cut -d' ' -f 6 | xxd -r -p | sha256sum
