fix(integrity): properly set up EVM when using an x509 cert

The current EVM script does not handle the EVM setup properly when X509
certificates are involved. In this patch we extend the setup and add
the necessary flags for support of EVM activation that include
x509 certificates, possibly in conjunction with an HMAC key. We also
first try activating EVM for x509 certificates using
EVM_ALLOW_METADATA_WRITES for newer kernels, then without it for older
ones that did not support this flag.

We add support for additional EVM activation bits to be set, such
as EVM_SETUP_COMPLETE (0x80000000) via the config file and
EVM_ACTIVATION_BITS variable.

To avoid error messages related to unloading the HMAC key if none is
used, only attempt to unload the HMAC key if one was actually set.

We add documentation about the variables that can be set in the EVM
config file.
