ima: Document and replace keys and adapt scripts for EC keys

For shorted file signatures use EC keys rather than RSA keys.
Document the debug keys and their purpose.
Adapt the scripts for creating these types of keys to now
create EC keys.

# EVM & IMA keys
The following IMA & EVM debug/test keys are in this directory
- ima-local-ca.priv: The CA's private key (password: 1234)
- ima-local-ca.pem: The CA's self-signed certificate
- privkey_ima.pem: IMA & EVM private key used for signing files
- x509_ima.der: Certificate containing public key (of privkey_ima.pem) to verify signatures
The CA's (self-signed) certificate can be used to verify the validity of
the x509_ima.der certificate. Since the CA certificate will be built into
the Linux kernel, any key (x509_ima.der) loaded onto the .ima keyring must
pass this test:
```
openssl verify -CAfile ima-local-ca.pem x509_ima.der
