A TPM backend for Sequoia's private key store.

The `sequoia-keystore` crate implements a server that manages secret
keys.  Secret key material can be stored in files, on hardware devices
like smartcards, or accessed via the network.  `sequoia-keystore`
doesn't implement these access methods.  This is taken care of by
various backends.

This crate includes a backend that exposes the secret keys managed by
a TPM.

# Using your TPM

In TPM terminology, keys are named by handles.  To list any persistent
keys, use `tpm2_getcap` (from the `tpm2-tools` package in Debian) do
the follow as root or add yourself to the appropriate group (`tss` on
Debian, or examine `/dev/tpmrm0`):

```text
$ tpm2_getcap handles-persistent
- 0x81000001
- 0x81000002
- 0x81010001
```

To create a key on the TPM, you can use `create-key` from
[`sequoia-tpm`], as well the templates [`rsa2k-dec.yml`] and
[`rsa2k-sign.yml`] from this project.

  [`sequoia-tpm`]: https://gitlab.com/sequoia-pgp/sequoia-tpm
  [`rsa2k-dec.yml`]: https://gitlab.com/sequoia-pgp/sequoia-keystore/-/blob/main/tpm/examples/rsa2k-dec.yml
  [`rsa2k-sign.yml`]: https://gitlab.com/sequoia-pgp/sequoia-keystore/-/blob/main/tpm/examples/rsa2k-sign.yml

```text
$ /tmp/sequoia-tpm/target/debug/create-key --file .../sequoia-keystore/tpm/examples/rsa2k-dec.yml
Generated key handle = 0x40418488
$ /tmp/sequoia-tpm/target/debug/create-key --file .../sequoia-keystore/tpm/examples/rsa2k-sign.yml
Generated key handle = 0x40418488
```

The handles that are shown are the temporary handles.  The persistent
handles are set in the `yaml` files.

In my case, we can see that two persistent handles have been added:

```text
$ tpm2_getcap handles-persistent
- 0x81000001
- 0x81000002
- 0x81000018
- 0x81000027
- 0x81010001
```

To delete a key do:

```
$ tpm2_evictcontrol --object-context=0x81000027
persistent-handle: 0x81000027
action: evicted
```

To get the public key, we use `get-key` from `sequoia-tpm`.  For example:

```text
$ /tmp/sequoia-tpm/target/debug/get-key --file .../sequoia-keystore/tpm/examples/rsa2k-sign.yml
---

    RSA:
      bits: 2048
      exponent: ~
  private: ~

  auth: "123"
```

To add the key to the keystore, copy the descriptions to the
home directory for the keystore's tpm:

```text
$ mkdir -p ~/.local/share/sequoia/keystore/tpm
$ cp .../sequoia-keystore/tpm/examples/rsa2k-{dec,sign}.yml ~/.local/share/sequoia/keystore/tpm
```

`sq` is not yet able to use the keys.  For that we have to add OpenPGP
metadata to the keys, and then add the keys to an OpenPGP certificate.
For the first part, we create a "null" OpenPGP certificate using the
`get-openpgp-key` utility from `sequoia-tpm`.  A null OpenPGP
certificate is just a certificate with a single packet: a primary key,
whose creation time is set to the unix epoch.  It doesn't have any
signatures, so it is not a valid certificate, but `sq` can work with
it.


```text
$ /tmp/sequoia-tpm/target/debug/get-openpgp-key --file ~/.local/share/sequoia/keystore/tpm/rsa2k-sign.yml >/tmp/sign.pgp
$ sq inspect /tmp/sign.pgp

$ sq inspect /tmp/dec.pgp

  Creation time: 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC
```

We import the null certificates into `sq`, and the keys now appear:

```text
$ sq cert import /tmp/sign.pgp /tmp/dec.pgp
Imported E5637B7762959BB59ACB8E9426F9CAC1FA7C375F, <unknown>
Imported B321BA8F650CB16443E06826DBFA98A78CF6562F, <unknown>
Imported 2 new certificates, updated 0 certificates, 0 certificates unchanged, 0 errors.
$ sq key list
 - softkeys
 - tpm
   - device:/dev/tpmrm0
     - B321BA8F650CB16443E06826DBFA98A78CF6562F <unknown> (available, unlocked, for decryption)
     - E5637B7762959BB59ACB8E9426F9CAC1FA7C375F <unknown> (available, unlocked, for signing)
...
```

For the keys to be useful, we need to add them to a certificate.  In
the following example, we create a new certification-only certificate.
We don't add any subkeys, since we want to use the decryption and
signing keys on the TPM.  You could use an existing certificate.

```text
$ sq key generate --email test@example.org --cannot-encrypt --cannot-sign --cannot-authenticate

                                                  Please repeat the password:

Finally, we can create signatures and decrypt messages using our
OpenPGP certificate:

```text
