doc: signature.txt: Document the keydir and keyfile arguments 

After lots of debating, this documents how we'd like mkimage to treat
'keydir' and 'keyfile' arguments. The rest is in the docs.

Software signing: keydir vs keyfile
-----------------------------------
In the simplest case, signing is done by giving mkimage the 'keyfile'. This is
the path to a file containing the signing key.
The alternative is to pass the 'keydir' argument. In this case the filename of
the key is derived from the 'keydir' and the "key-name-hint" property in the
FIT. In this case the "key-name-hint" property is mandatory, and the key must
exist in "<keydir>/<key-name-hint>.<ext>" Here the extension "ext" is
specific to the signing algorithm.
Hardware Signing with PKCS#11 or with HSM
