tpm2_get_best_pcr_bank() only ever considered SHA256 and SHA1, both in
the firmware-reported LoaderTpm2ActivePcrBanks path and in the
capability-based guesswork. On a TPM whose only active bank is SHA384 it
returned -EOPNOTSUPP, which for units ordered before sysinit.target
(systemd-pcrextend/systemd-pcrproduct.service) propagates and hangs the
boot, even with --graceful (that only covers "no TPM present").
Introduce a preference table (SHA256 > SHA384 > SHA512 > SHA1) and select
from it. SHA256 stays top for backwards compatibility; SHA384 is
preferred over SHA512 as it produces a shorter digest and so uses less of
the bounded TPM event log; SHA1 is the last resort. SM3/SHA3 are excluded
as we cannot compute those digests in software.
The legacy unseal path in tpm2_unseal() re-derives the bank for old
enrollments that did not record one (pcr_bank == UINT16_MAX). Those were
sealed by code that only picked SHA256 or SHA1, so the wider preference
could now re-derive a stronger bank the secret was never bound to and
silently fail to unseal. To stay compatible, the selection takes the
preference list as a parameter, and a _legacy() variant restricted to
{SHA256, SHA1} is used for that path; fresh-sealing callers keep the full
preference.
