fs-verity: move structs needed for file signing to UAPI header

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.

38 * Struct containing a file's Merkle tree properties. The fs-verity file digest
39 * is the hash of this struct. A userspace program needs this struct only if it
40 * needs to compute fs-verity file digests itself, e.g. in order to sign files.
41 * It isn't needed just to enable fs-verity on a file.
42 *
43 * Note: when computing the file digest, 'sig_size' and 'signature' must be left
44 * zero and empty, respectively. These fields are present only because some
45 * filesystems reuse this struct as part of their on-disk format.
