See #284 for details on the problem.

This PR updates the mkinitcpio post hook to only sign the kernel/UKI which is currently being built instead of all the files in the sbctl database.

Fixes #284

Well, this has already been merged, but I think the -s is right here. Initramfs files should always be saved to the database and resigned as soon as possible, when necessary.

problem is they're never removed from the sbctl "database", so if you remove the uki, now the sbctl database is out-of-sync

In that case, sbctl will just display an error, but the exit code will still be zero. So you can just remove from the database file manually when you see the message. That's why the current behavior is ok IMHO.
