module: Move 'struct module_signature' to UAPI
This structure definition is used outside the kernel proper. For example in kmod and the kernel build environment. To allow reuse, move it to a new UAPI header. While it is not a true UAPI, it is a common practice to have non-UAPI interface definitions in the kernel's UAPI headers.
