[PATCH v2 1/6] KEYS: trusted: allow use of TEE as backend without TCG_TPM support

With recent rework, trusted keys are no longer limited to TPM as trust
source. The Kconfig symbol is unchanged however leading to a few issues:

 - TCG_TPM is required, even if only TEE is to be used
 - Enabling TCG_TPM, but excluding it from available trusted sources
   is not possible
 - TEE=m && TRUSTED_KEYS=y will lead to TEE support being silently
   dropped, which is not the best user experience

Remedy these issues by introducing two new Kconfig symbols:
TRUSTED_KEYS_TPM and TRUSTED_KEYS_TEE with the appropriate
dependencies.
