The basic measuring of keys shouldn't be any different than any other
policy rule, other than it is a key and not a file.  This is the
reason that I keep saying start out with the basics and then add
support to defer measuring keys on the trusted keyrings.

Only the queueing code needed for measuring keys on the trusted
keyrings would be in a separate file.
