The "appraise_flag" option is only appropriate for appraise actions

Make this clear at policy load so that IMA policy authors don't assume
that other uses of "appraise_flag=blacklist" are supported.

If IMA_APPRAISE_MODSIG is disabled, it will allow the following rule to
load, which is not as expected.

"appraise func=xxx_CHECK appraise_flag=blacklist appraise_type=imasig"

Missing is the "else" condition to immediately reject the policy rule.
Thanks for the review. You're right. This change is needed:
