Extend the documentation for trusted keys with documentation for how to
set up a key for a TPM 2.0 so it can be used with a TPM 2.0 as well.

 By default, trusted keys are sealed under the SRK, which has the default
 authorization value (20 zeros).  This can be set at takeownership time with the
 trouser's utility: "tpm_takeownership -u -z".
