This covers delivering updates to SBAT_LEVEL without the need
to create and sign a new shim

While this works, I should admit that this is a bit of a strange binary and I wouldn't be surprised if there was a better way.

I did run into the fact that the PE parsing in shim does not handle longer section names. Since that could be an attack surface, it probably makes sense to keep that code as simple as it can be.

This contains a dangerous latest SkuSiPolicy version. While this is handy for testing, we may or may not want to ship this here. Comments are welcome.

This is also included in shim builtin latest revocation, but it
revokes shim binaries impacted by:

* CVE-2023-40547
* CVE-2023-40546
* CVE-2023-40548
* CVE-2023-40549
* CVE-2023-40550
* CVE-2023-40551

And also revokes GRUB binaries impacted by:

* CVE-2023-4692
* CVE-2023-4693
When the term previous was introduced for revocations to be
automatically applied there was a hope that everytime a new
revocation was built into shim, the previous revocation could
be applied automatically. Further experience has shown the
real world to be more complex than that. The automatic payload
will realistically contain a set of revocations governed by
both the cadence at which a distro's customer base updates
as well as the severity of the issue being revoked.

This is not a functional change.
