The IMA_APPRAISE_BOOTPARAM config allows enabling different "ima_appraise="
modes - log, fix, enforce - at run time, but not when IMA architecture
specific policies are enabled.  This prevents properly labeling the
filesystem on systems where secure boot is supported, but not enabled on the
platform.  Only when secure boot is actually enabled should these IMA
appraise modes be disabled.

This patch removes the compile time dependency and makes it a runtime
decision, based on the secure boot state of that platform.

Test results as follows:

-> x86-64 with secure boot enabled

[    0.015637] Kernel command line: <...> ima_policy=appraise_tcb ima_appraise=fix
[    0.015668] ima: Secure boot enabled: ignoring ima_appraise=fix boot parameter option

-> powerpc with secure boot disabled

[    0.000000] Kernel command line: <...> ima_policy=appraise_tcb ima_appraise=fix
[    0.000000] Secure boot mode disabled

-> Running the system without secure boot and with both options set:

CONFIG_IMA_APPRAISE_BOOTPARAM=y
CONFIG_IMA_ARCH_POLICY=y

Audit prompts "missing-hash" but still allow execution and, consequently,
filesystem labeling:
