Load the manifest check downloads from memory, not a temp file (closes #223)
check / check (push) Waiting to run

check given a URL wrote the manifest it downloaded to a file in the temp
directory before loading it, so it failed wherever that directory is
missing or cannot be written, such as the scratch image script/cibuild
builds. It now keeps the manifest in memory, as fetch, list and export
do. NewChecker reads a manifest handed to it as a reader through the new
CheckerOptions.ManifestReader field, in place of ManifestPath, because it
otherwise reads the manifest from the filesystem holding the files it
checks. Only check uses that field. verifyRequiredSigner takes the
signer's fingerprint instead of a Checker, so fetch passes the signer of
the manifest it has already loaded and builds no Checker.
