Should MODULE_SIG_FORCE be renamed to MODULE_AUTH_FORCE, along with
renaming the sig_enforce functionality in kernel/module/auth.c to
auth_enforce?

Given that it is a user-visible symbol we'll need to be a bit careful
not to break existing configurations.
I'll try to use the new "transitional" kconfig attribute.

A slightly softer worded alternative (yet semantically equivalent) name could be 
MODULE_AUTH_REQUIRE. No strong opinion though, I think MODULE_AUTH_* does make 
sense.

I initially shared the concern about renaming well established config options, 
but the transitional feature does seem to be a good fit for this.
