Subject: [RFC][PATCH v3a 08/11] fsverity: Completely disable signature verification if not requested

Currently, fsverity verifies the signature, if supplied, regardless of
whether signature verification is requested or not.

Completely disable signature verification, if not requested, so that other
users of fsverity can do their own verification without relying on the
fsverity-specific verification to work.
