When TPMs generate keys, they can also generate some information

This allows us to determine the state of the system at the time a key
was generated. Add an additional argument to the trusted key creation
options, allowing the user to provide the set of PCRs that should have
their values incorporated into the creation data.

LGTM too.

Something popped into mind: could we make PCR 23 reservation dynamic
instead of a config option.

E.g. if the user space uses it, then it's dirty and hibernate will
fail. I really dislike the static compilation time firewall on it.
