This PR adjusts the PKCS7_VerifySignedData() function in pkcs7.c to correctly verify a SignedData detached signature bundle where the user passes in a pre-computed content message digest into wc_PKCS7_VerifySignedData_ex().
There are two options for users verifying a detached PKCS7 SignedData signature. They can set pkcs7->content and pkcs7->contentSz before calling wc_PKCS7_VerifySignedData(), and wolfSSL will compute the content message digest internally. Or, for users who do not have the entire content up front, they can create the content message digest on their own and pass that to wc_PKCS7_VerifySignedData_ex(). This fixes the later use case.
