integrity: Avoid -Wflex-array-member-not-at-end warnings

-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end is coming in GCC-14, and we are getting
ready to enable it globally.

There is currently an object (`hdr)` in `struct ima_max_digest_data`
that contains a flexible structure (`struct ima_digest_data`):

 struct ima_max_digest_data {
        struct ima_digest_data hdr;
        u8 digest[HASH_MAX_DIGESTSIZE];
 } __packed;

So, in order to avoid ending up with a flexible-array member in the
middle of a struct, we use the `__struct_group()` helper to separate
the flexible array from the rest of the members in the flexible
structure:

struct ima_digest_data {
        __struct_group(ima_digest_data_hdr, hdr, __packed,

        ... the rest of the members

        );
        u8 digest[];
} __packed;

And similarly for `struct evm_ima_xattr_data`.

With the change described above, we can now declare an object of the
type of the tagged `struct ima_digest_data_hdr`, without embedding the
flexible array in the middle of another struct:

 struct ima_max_digest_data {
        struct ima_digest_data_hdr hdr;
        u8 digest[HASH_MAX_DIGESTSIZE];
 } __packed;

And similarly for `struct evm_digest` and `struct evm_xattr`.

We also use `container_of()` whenever we need to retrieve a pointer to
the flexible structure.

So, with these changes, fix the following warnings:

security/integrity/evm/evm.h:64:32: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end]
