[Skiboot] [PATCH v4 1/2] secvar: return error if validate_esl has extra data

[Nick Child]

Currently, in `validate_esl_list`, the return code is initialized to zero
(our success value). While looping though the ESL's in the submitted ESL
chain, the loop will break if there is not enough data to meet minimum ESL
requirements. This condition was not setting a return code, meaning that the
successful return code can pass to the end of the function if there is extra
data at the end of the ESL. As a consequence, any properly signed update can
successfully commit any data (as long as it is less than the min size of an
ESL) to the secvars.

This commit will return an error if the described condition is met. This
means all data in the appended ESL of an auth file must be accounted for. No
extra bytes can be added to the end since, on success, this data will become
the updated secvar.

Additionally, a test case has been added to ensure that this commit
addresses the issue correctly.
