X.509: unpack RSA signatureValue field from BIT STRING
The signatureValue field of a X.509 certificate is encoded as a BIT STRING. For RSA signatures this BIT STRING is of so-called primitive subtype, which contains a u8 prefix indicating a count of unused bits in the encoding. We have to strip this prefix from signature data, just as we already do for key data in x509_extract_key_data() function. This wasn't noticed earlier because this prefix byte is zero for RSA key sizes divisible by 8. Since BIT STRING is a big-endian encoding adding zero prefixes has no bearing on its value. The signature length, however was incorrect, which is a problem for RSA implementations that need it to be exactly correct (like AMD CCP). Signed-off-by:Maciej S.
