Subject: [PATCH] verifiers: fix double close on pgp's sig file descriptor

An error emerged as when I was testing the verifiers branch, so instead
of putting it in pgp prefix, the verifiers is used to reflect what the
patch is based on.

While running verify_detached, grub aborts with error.

verify_detached /@/.snapshots/1/snapshot/boot/grub/grub.cfg
/@/.snapshots/1/snapshot/boot/grub/grub.cfg.sig

alloc magic is broken at 0x7beea660: 0
Aborted. Press any key to exit.

The error is caused by sig file descriptor been closed twice, first time
in grub_verify_signature() to which it is passed as parameter. Second in
grub_cmd_verify_signature() or in whichever opens the sig file
descriptor. The second close is not consider as bug to me either, as in
common rule of what opens a file has to close it to avoid file
descriptor leakage.

After all the design of grub_verify_signature() makes it difficult to keep
a good trace on opened file descriptor from it's caller. Let's refine
the application interface to accept file path rather than descriptor, in
this way the caller doesn't have to care about closing the descriptor by
delegating it to grub_verify_signature() with full tracing to opened
file descriptor by itself.

Also making it clear that sig descriptor is not referenced in error
returning path of grub_verify_signature_init(), so it can be closed
directly by it's caller. This also makes delegating it to
grub_pubkey_close() infeasible to help in relieving file descriptor
leakage as it has to depend on uncertainty of ctxt fields in error
returning path.
