This commit changes the error handing for the crypto, filesystem,
metadata, pam, and util packages to use the error handling library
github.com/pkg/errors. This means elimination of the FSError type, an
increased use of wrapping errors (as opposed to logging), switching
on the Cause() of an error (as opposed to its value), and improving our
integration tests involving TEST_FILESYSTEM_ROOT.

This commit also fixes a few bugs with the keyring code to ensure that
our {Find|Remove|Insert}PolicyKey functions are always operating on the
same keyring. The check for filesystem support has been moved from the
filesystem package to the metadata package. Finally, the API for the
filesystem package has been slightly modified:
	* filesystem.AllFilesystems() now returns all the filesystems in
	  sorted order
	* certain path methods are now public

O_SYNC is also removed for writing the metadata. We don't get that much
from syncing the metadata, as the actual file data could also be
corrupted by and IO error. The sync operation is also occasionally very
slow (~3 seconds) and can be unfriendly to battery life.

This changes the crypto package so it now builds in light of the changes
to the util and metadata package. This commit also improves the error
handling, adds tests, and makes it so recovery keys now correspond to
Policy keys (as they are used to recover a directory in the absence of
any metadata).

The only feature addition here is the ability to compute descriptors.
For backwards compatibility, we keep the same descriptor algorithm used
before (double SHA512).

<title>crypto: add secure random reader using getrandom</title>

This commit adds in RandReader, a cryptographically secure io.Reader
that will fail when the os has insufficient randomness. This is done
using the getrandom() syscall in non-blocking mode.
  see: http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/getrandom.2.html
Any kernel new enough to have filesystem encryption will also have this
syscall.

This RandReader is preferable to the one provided by the standard
library in crypto/rand. See the bugs:
	https://github.com/golang/go/issues/11833
	https://github.com/golang/go/issues/19274
This will be removed when go updates the crypto/rand implementation.
