[libcamera-devel] [PATCH v1 2/2] apps: Add ipa-verify application

When packaging libcamera, distributions may break IPA module signatures
if the packaging process strips binaries. This can be fixed by resigning
the modules, but the process is error-prone.

Add a command line ipa-verify utility that tests the signature on an IPA
module to help packagers. The tool takes a single argument, the path to
an IPA module shared object, and expects the signature file (.sign) to
be in the same directory.

In order to access the public key needed for signature verification, add
a static function to the IPAManager class. As the class is internal to
libcamera, this doesn't affect the public API.
