Although it isn't used directly by the ioctls,
"struct fsverity_descriptor" is required by userspace programs that need
to compute fs-verity file digests in a standalone way. Therefore
it's also needed to sign files in a standalone way.
Similarly, "struct fsverity_formatted_digest" (previously called
"struct fsverity_signed_digest" which was misleading) is also needed to
sign files if the built-in signature verification is being used.
Therefore, move these structs to the UAPI header.
While doing this, try to make it clear that the signature-related fields
in fsverity_descriptor aren't used in the file digest computation.

I originally chose the name "file measurement" to refer to the fs-verity
file digest to avoid confusion with traditional full-file digests or
with the bare root hash of the Merkle tree.
But the name "file measurement" hasn't caught on, and usually people are
calling it something else, usually the "file digest". E.g. see
"struct fsverity_digest" and "struct fsverity_formatted_digest", the
libfsverity_compute_digest() and libfsverity_sign_digest() functions in
libfsverity, and the "fsverity digest" command.
Having multiple names for the same thing is always confusing.
So to hopefully avoid confusion in the future, rename
"fs-verity file measurement" to "fs-verity file digest".
This leaves FS_IOC_MEASURE_VERITY as the only reference to "measure" in
the kernel, which makes some amount of sense since the ioctl is actively
"measuring" the file.
I'll be renaming this in fsverity-utils too (though similarly the
'fsverity measure' command, which is a wrapper for
FS_IOC_MEASURE_VERITY, will stay).

The name "struct fsverity_signed_digest" is causing confusion because it
isn't actually a signed digest, but rather it's the way that the digest
is formatted in order to be signed. Rename it to
"struct fsverity_formatted_digest" to prevent this confusion.
Also update the struct's comment to clarify that it's specific to the
built-in signature verification support and isn't a requirement for all
fs-verity users.
I'll be renaming this struct in fsverity-utils too.

The :c:type:`foo` only works properly with structs before
Sphinx 3.x.
On Sphinx 3.x, structs should now be declared using the
.. c:struct, and referenced via :c:struct tag.
As we now have the automarkup.py macro, that automatically
convert:
struct foo
into cross-references, let's get rid of that, solving
several warnings when building docs with Sphinx 3.x.

I had meant to replace these TODOs with the actual version when applying
the patches, but forgot to do so. Do it now.
