This patch introduces the new template fields mntuidmap and mntgidmap,
which include respectively the UID and GID mappings of the idmapped

mount,

if the user namespace is not the initial one.

These template fields, which should be included whenever the iuid and the
igid fields are included, allow remote verifiers to find the original UID
and GID of the inode during signature verification. The iuid and igid
fields include the mapped UID and GID when the inode is in an idmapped
mount.

This solution has been preferred to providing always the original UID and
GID, regardless of whether the inode is in an idmapped mount or not, as
the mapped UID and GID are those seen by processes and matched with

Hm, looking at the code this doesn't seem like a good idea to me. I
think we should avoid that and just rely on the original uid and gid.

It'd be ok to include the mapped uid/gid but don't copy the mapping
itself.

Uhm, we would need a way to obtain the original UID and GID to
verify the portable signature.
