No longer sign i386 kernels



Hi

I would like do stop signing i386 kernels.

- IA32 UEFI is basically non existent outside of the Apple world and
  maybe some embedded stuff.
- i386 lacks many of the microarchitectural fixes that creeped in during
  the last years.  So those kernels are unsuitable for real world usage
  of processors released in the last ten years.

Install base of a IA32 EFI capable boot chain, as possible to see by
popcon (via grub-efi-ia32-signed): 178

Install base of a X64 EFI capable boot chain (via
grub-efi-amd64-signed): 71743
