Documentation/bpf: Add BPF signing and enforcement doc

Describe the BPF signing design end to end: why a trusted loader is
needed, the signature(insns || metadata) contract, load-time
verification via fd_array (exclusive + frozen maps), the binary
BPF_SIG_{UNSIGNED,VERIFIED} verdict, and how [BPF] LSMs can enforce
policy on it.

This writes down the contract on the discussion points with the LSM /
integrity folks [0][1]: by the time security_bpf_prog_load() is
called, signature verification has fully completed and covers the
instructions plus the frozen contents of every bound exclusive map;
there is no intermediate "loader verified, payload pending" state
to reason about; and what BPF_SIG_VERIFIED means at each hook is
spelled out explicitly.
