How do we handle government updates? #162

Description

@pattivacek

Governments and regulatory bodies may require automakers to grant them full control over a vehicle in emergency situations. How can Uptane be extended to allow secure access for such a situation?

This may require two Directors and Image Repositories (one each from the government and the OEM). Delegations are not good enough to solve this, as the government will have a higher authority than the OEM, but the government probably won't want to micromanage OEM's non-emergency updates.

This may be better covered in the Deployment Considerations, and this may build upon uptane/deployment-considerations#4.

Note: this issue is split off from #161 to consider the government emergency use case. Discussion of the non-emergency location-based updates continues on that issue.
