asserts,interfaces/builtin,overlord/assertstate: introduce base-declaration #2037

This introduces a base-declaration assertion with the default policies (for now about interfaces) that govern all snaps.

This has the assertion definition itself, the first pass at plumbing to have the content defined in interfaces/builtin, while the forward compatible (with the idea to revision/distribute this through the store) interface to it is asserstate.BaseDeclaration.

The assertion is not used yet in any way.

…s term in the match errors, use the term 'constraint(s)' and the notation /alt#N/ for pin pointing alternatives in compile error messages

@jdstrand this has the first pass at the base-declaration plumbing

var builtinBaseDeclaration *BaseDeclaration

// BuiltinBaseDeclaration exposes the initialized builtin base-declaration assertion. This is used by overlord/assertstate, other code should use assertstate.BaseDeclaration.
func BuiltinBaseDeclaration() *BaseDeclaration {

Nice implementation of that idea.

Nice to see this so short and reusing the existing infra.

We can put my 'Base declarations thoughts, part 2' in baseDeclarationHeaders in a future commit (feel free to add that yourself and I can review). This would probably be useful sooner rather than later for running the spread tests once the connection and install code is honoring the base declaration.

This seems very casual for an error message.

Perhaps: wrong type specified in builtin base-declaration headers

I don't understand why we are setting this to a hardcoded value. Can you explain why and how it can't somehow be abused in the face of coding errors?

We discussed this a bit on IRC. I was expecting that we would skip any signing checks since the document isn't signed (eg pseudo-code 'if base-declaration, warn else, verify'). Instead, this code is providing a sha-384 for a non-existent public key which is non-obvious (to me anyway) why that should work and is ok.

That said, I understand that we will be signing the base declaration soonish, so I don't want to waste people's time or to introduce corner cases that might introduce verification bugs, so if @pedronis and @niemeyer as experts in the assertions code are ok with this as is, +1 so long as we add a 'FIXME' comment that details why this is working correctly and is safe. @pedronis thought he might also explore a code change, which should be reviewed by @niemeyer.

baseDeclarationHeaders is how I envisioned it.
