right now, the tool preload_check_sign may only
checks an image with a pre-load header with rsa.
We add the support of pre-load header with ecdsa.

v3:
- initial version
v4:
- free key to avoid mem leak
- fix error management (set ret before goto out)
v5:
- add include ec.h, evp.h, err.h and image.h
