Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing bJSONWebSignature and constructor in wfe2, then read the related pull request #6860 for context. Determine the intended new package boundary and how the design should answer where a signature came from while accounting for the noted mutability concern; done means the type and constructor are moved consistently.
