signing.bbclass: add signing_create_uri_pem helper function

Browse Source 
The PKCS#11 provider has a mechanism [1] to support older applications
which have not yet migrated to the OSSL_STORE API [2]. It works by
encoding the 'pkcs11:' URI into a PEM file and passing that to an
application as a file. From the application's perspective it loads the
private key from a file, but OpenSSL will transparently use select the
provider to access it via PKCS#11 instead.

Instead of upstream's Python-based tool [3] (which would pull in
asn1crypto as a dependency), we just generate the ASN.1 for the PEM
using OpenSSL's 'asn1parse -genconf'.

It has been tested with RAUC, U-Boot's mkimage (for signed FITs) and
NXP's CST.
