fit_digest will hash the list of images in the configuration, so
fit_check_signature() can compare it against the signed hash.

So far, parse errors while computing the hash were ignored. This is not
directly exploitable as the hash would be incomplete and fail the
signature verification, but it makes the code more difficult to reason
about.

This unused assignment to ret was detected by clang-analyzer-19.
