This does what we do for system extension also for configuration extension. This is complicated by the fact that we previously looked for <uki-binary>.d/*.raw for system extensions. We want to measure sysexts and confexts to different PCRs (13 vs. 12) hence we must distinguish them, but *.raw would match both kinds. This commit solves this via the following mechanism: we'll load confexts from *.confext.raw and sysexts from *.raw but will then enclude *.confext.raw from the latter. This preserves compatibility but allows us to somewhat reasonable distinguish both types of images. The documentation is updated not going into this detail though, and instead now claims that sysexts shall be *.sysext.raw and confexts *.confext.raw even though we actually are more lenient than this. This is simply to push people towards using the longer, more descriptive suffixes. I added an XML comment (<!-- … -->) about this to the docs, so that whenever somebody notices the difference between code and docs understands why and leaves it that way.
