The defaults was either "/etc/keys/x509_evm.der" for DIGSIG_VERSION_1
or "/etc/keys/pubkey_evm.pem" for DIGSIG_VERSION_2.

Since no keys were provided, this patch loads the default key onto the
list of public_keys.  The normal find_keyid() is then called.

It would definitely be simpler to remove support for these default
keys, but I'm hesitant to remove it.

init_public_keys() will only be called once, either there or here.  It
depends on whether params.keyfile is defined or not.

Agreed, every time I come back to this code it takes me a few minutes
to remember.
