As a mitigation and hardening measure enforce verification of font
files. Then only trusted font files can be load. This will reduce the
attack surface at cost of losing the ability of end-users to customize
fonts if e.g. UEFI Secure Boot is enabled. Vendors can always customize
fonts because they have ability to pack fonts into their GRUB bundles.
This goal is achieved by:
* Removing GRUB_FILE_TYPE_FONT from shim lock verifier's
skip-verification list.
* Adding GRUB_FILE_TYPE_FONT to lockdown verifier's defer-auth list,
so font files must be verified by a verifier before they can be loaded.

We must not allow other verifiers to pass things like the GRUB modules.
Instead of maintaining a blocklist, maintain an allowlist of things
that we do not care about.
This allowlist really should be made reusable, and shared by the
lockdown verifier, but this is the minimal patch addressing
security concerns where the TPM verifier was able to mark modules
as verified (or the OpenPGP verifier for that matter), when it
should not do so on shim-powered secure boot systems.

While attempting to dual boot Microsoft Windows with UEFI chainloader,
it failed with below error when UEFI Secure Boot was enabled:
error ../../grub-core/kern/verifiers.c:119:verification requested but
nobody cares: /EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi.
It is a regression, as previously it worked without any problem.
It turns out chainloading PE image has been locked down by commit
578c95298 (kern: Add lockdown support). However, we should consider it
as verifiable object by shim to allow booting in UEFI Secure Boot mode.
The chainloaded PE image could also have trusted signature created by
vendor with their pubkey cert in db. For that matters it's usage should
not be locked down under UEFI Secure Boot, and instead shim should be
allowed to validate a PE binary signature before running it.

Commit 32ddc42c (efi: Only register shim_lock verifier if shim_lock
protocol is found and SB enabled) reintroduced CVE-2020-15705 which
previously only existed in the out-of-tree linuxefi patches and was
fixed as part of the BootHole patch series.
Under Secure Boot enforce loading shim_lock verifier. Allow skipping
shim_lock verifier if SecureBoot/MokSBState EFI variables indicate
skipping validations, or if GRUB image is built with --disable-shim-lock.

Now the GRUB can check if it has been locked down and this can be used to
prevent executing commands that can be utilized to circumvent the UEFI
Secure Boot mechanisms. So, instead of hardcoding a list of modules that
have to be disabled, prevent the usage of commands that can be dangerous.
This not only allows the commands to be disabled on other platforms, but
also properly separate the concerns. Since the shim_lock verifier logic
should be only about preventing to run untrusted binaries and not about
defining these kind of policies.

Move the shim_lock verifier from its own module into the core image. The
Secure Boot lockdown mechanism has the intent to prevent the load of any
unsigned code or binary when Secure Boot is enabled.
The reason is that GRUB must be able to prevent executing untrusted code
if UEFI Secure Boot is enabled, without depending on external modules.
