ima: update builtin policies

This patch defines a builtin measurement policy "tcb", similar to the
existing "ima_tcb", but with additional rules to also measure files
based on the effective uid and to measure files opened with the "read"
mode bit set (eg. read, read-write).

Changing the builtin "ima_tcb" policy could potentially break existing
users.  Instead of defining a new separate boot command line option each
time the builtin measurement policy is modified, this patch defines a
single generic boot command line option "ima_policy=" to specify the
builtin policy and deprecates the use of the builtin ima_tcb policy.

[The "ima_policy=" boot command line option is based on Roberto Sassu's
"ima: added new policy type exec" patch.]

ima_tcb [IMA]
ima_policy= [IMA]
The builtin measurement policy to load during IMA
setup. Specyfing "tcb" as the value, measures all
programs exec'd, files mmap'd for exec, and all files
opened with the read mode bit set by either the
effective uid (euid=0) or uid=0.
Format: "tcb"
ima_tcb [IMA] Deprecated. Use ima_policy= instead.
