ima: define kernel parameter 'ima_template=' to change configured default

This patch allows users to specify from the kernel command line the
template descriptor, among those defined, that will be used to generate
and display measurement entries. If an user specifies a wrong template,
IMA reverts to the template descriptor set in the kernel configuration.
