We currently distinguish between signed and non signed PE/COFF executables while trying to authenticate signatures and/or sha256 hashes in db and dbx. That code duplication can be avoided. When checking for sha256 hashes, in db, we don't really care if the image is signed or not. The sequence for verifying the binary can be

1. Is the sha256 of the image in dbx, reject the image
2. Certification checking

2a. Is the image signed with a certificate that's found in db and not in dbx 2b. The image carries a cert which is signed by a cert in db (and not in dbx) and the image can be verified against the former 3. Is the sha256 of the image in db

So weed out the 'special' case, which is handling unsigned images.

While at it move the checking of a hash outside the certificate verification loop which isn't really needed and check for the hash only once. Also allow a mix of signatures and hashes in db instead of explicitly breaking out the SHA256 verification loop if a signature happens to be the present before the hash.

It's worth noting that (2a) only works if the certificate is self signed, but that can be fixed in a following patch.

I've found more unsupported cases in our existing code while testing. Please ignore this patchset I'll send updates which supersede it

Thanks /Ilias
