Description

Hello.

I'm thinking about to try to implement two tools:
* A tool to calculate expected [PCR0](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trusted_Execution_Technology#Chain_of_trust) value of a binary.
* A tool to compare measurements between two binaries (to explain which bits causes the difference).

And it seems right to me to implement it as part of this project "fiano". I suppose these tools should be implemented as:
* `github.com/linuxboot/fiano/cmds/pcr0sum`
* and `github.com/linuxboot/fiano/cmds/pcr0diff`

So the question is: would you agree to merge such code into "fiano" (after codereview&fixes of course)? :)

Research direction

Start by reviewing the proposal for cmds/pcr0sum and cmds/pcr0diff and checking the existing fiano command structure before seeking maintainer confirmation. Done would require an agreed scope for calculating PCR0 values and explaining binary measurement differences, followed by reviewed implementations of both tools.
