This permits to prepare FIT image description that do not hard-code the
final choice of the signature algorithm, possibly requiring the user to
patch the sources.

When -o <algo> is specified, this information is used in favor of the
'algo' property in the signature node. Furthermore, that property is set
accordingly when writing the image.

Please add a test to test_vboot for this case.

What does 'target' mean in this case?

Perhaps 'taken from the signature node's 'algo' properties' ?
