KEYS: Implement binary asymmetric key ID handling

Implement the first step in using binary key IDs for asymmetric keys rather
than hex string keys.

The previously added match data preparsing will be able to convert hex
criterion strings into binary which can then be compared more rapidly.

Further, we actually want more then one ID string per public key.  The problem
is that X.509 certs refer to other X.509 certs by matching Issuer + AuthKeyId
to Subject + SubjKeyId, but PKCS#7 messages match against X.509 Issuer +
SerialNumber.

This patch just provides facilities for a later patch to make use of.

+ * Identifiers for an asymmetric key ID.  We have three ways of looking up a
+ * key derived from an X.509 certificate:
+ *
+ * (1) Serial Number & Issuer.  Non-optional.  This is the only valid way to
+ *     map a PKCS#7 signature to an X.509 certificate.
+ *
+ * (2) Issuer & Subject Unique IDs.  Optional.  These were the original way to
+ *     match X.509 certificates, but have fallen into disuse in favour of (3).
+ *
+ * (3) Auth & Subject Key Identifiers.  Optional.  SKIDs are only provided on
+ *     CA keys that are intended to sign other keys, so don't appear in end
+ *     user certificates unless forced.
+ *
+ * We could also support an PGP key identifier, which is just a SHA1 sum of the
+ * public key and certain parameters, but since we don't support PGP keys at
+ * the moment, we shall ignore those.
+ *
+ * What we actually do is provide a place where binary identifiers can be
+ * stashed and then compare against them when checking for an id match.
