This is likely not needed by users of the API (as they are interested
in the higher level functionality "verify delegate metadata with
threshold of signatures").
Moving verify to Key makes the API cleaner because including both
"verify myself" and "verify a delegate with threshold" can look awkward
in Metadata, and because the ugly Securesystemslib integration is now
Key class implementation detail (see Key.to_securesystemslib_key()).
Also raise on verify failure instead of returning false: this was found
to confuse API users (and was arguably not a pythonic way to handle it).
* Name the function verify_signature() to make it clear what is being
verified.
* Assume only one signature per keyid exists: see #1422
* Raise only UnsignedMetadataError (when no signatures or verify failure),
the remaining lower level errors will be handled in #1351
* Stop using a "keystore" in tests for the public keys: everything we
need is in metadata already
This changes API, but also should not be something API users want to
call in the future when "verify a delegate with threshold" exists.

This simplifies life for API users as usually a key needs its
identifier: this is already visible in how update() becomes simpler
in the API.
The downside is that 'from_dict()' now has two arguments (so arguably
the name is not great anymore but it still does _mostly_ the same job
as other from_dicts).
This is an API change, if a minor one.

This change is relevant to the new metadata class Targets.
In the specification, when describing the Targets metadata file format
and more precisely "TARGETPATH" (or targets containing the actual
target files) it's said:
"It is allowed to have a TARGETS object with no TARGETPATH elements.
This can be used to indicate that no target files are available."
If there is no "TARGETPATH" keys for the dictionary "targets", this
would mean that "Targets.targets" is {}.
Make sure we test for that.

We have tests which make sure we can use `Timestamp.update()` and
`Snapshot.update()` with MetaFile instance storing only version
(because length and hashes are optional).
Those tests were created to make sure that we are actually supporting
optional hashes and length when we call `update` for those classes, but
after we changed the `update()` signature to accept `MetaFile` instance
the tests are obsolete.
The reason is that length and hashes can be optional because of the
MetaFile implementation, no the update function itself and we have
other tests validating creating a MetaFie instance without hashes and
length.

Currently, when we call Targets/Snapshot/Timestamp.update() we are

This is not needed, given that one of the reasons we have created

In the top-level metadata classes, there are complex attributes such as
"meta" in Targets and Snapshot, "key" and "roles" in Root etc.
We want to represent those complex attributes with a class to allow
easier verification and support for metadata with unrecognized fields.
For more context read ADR 0004 and ADR 0008 in the docs/adr folder.
As written in the spec "targets" in "targets.json" has defined the
"custom" field serving the same purpose as "unrecognized_fields" in the
implementation.
That's why to conform against the spec and support "custom" and allow
"unrecognized_fields" everywhere where it's not sensitive we can define
custom as property which actually access data stored in
unrecognized_fields.
For context read ADR 8 in tuf/docs/adr.
Additionally, after adding the TargetFile class, when we create a
Targets an object we are now calling from dict twice - one for the main
Targets class and one for each of the complex attributes
TargetFile.from_dict() and Delegations.from_dict().
Given that the "from_dict" methods have the side effect of destroying
the given dictionary, we would need to start using deepcopy()
for our tests.

Use either "if X is not None:" or a try-except instead of a "if X:".
I believe Targets.from_dict() was not really broken with previous code
but it looks suspicious and did fail the added test with a strange
exception: I expect the from_dict() methods to mainly fail with
KeyErrors, ValueErrors or AttributeErrors if file format structure
is incorrect.

DelegatedRole shares a couple of fields with the Role class and that's

In order to support ADR 0008 we would want to accept unrecognized
fields in all metadata classes.
Input that contains unknown fields in the 'signed' dictionary should
successfully deserialize into a Metadata object, and that object should
successfully serialize with the unknown fields intact.
Also, we should test that we support unrecognized fields when adding
new classes or modifying existing ones to make sure we support
ADR 0008.

Revert an earlier commit that moved to/from_dict metadata class
model methods to a util module of the serialization sub-package.
We keep to/from_dict methods on the metadata classes because:
- It seems **idiomatic** (see e.g. 3rd-party libaries such as attrs,
pydantic, marshmallow, or built-ins that provide default or
customizable dict representation for higher-level objects).
The idiomatic choice should make usage more intuitive.
- It feels better **structured** when each method is encapsulated
within the corresponding class, which in turn should make
maintaining/modifying/extending the class model easier.
- It allows us to remove function-scope imports (see subsequent
commit).
Caveat:
Now that "the meat" of the sub-packaged JSON serializer is
implemented on the class, it might make it harder to create a
non-dict based serializer by copy-paste-amending the JSON
serializer.
However, the benefits from above seem to outweigh the disadvantage.
See option 5 of ADR0006 for further details (#1270).

Signed-off-by: Lukas Puehringer <lukas.puehringer@nyu.edu>
This commit better separates the Metadata class model from the
Metadata wireline format, by tailoring the constructors
towards class-based parameters and adding an additional
factory classmethod that creates Metadata objects based on the
wireline json/dictionary metadata representation. (pythonic
way of constructor overloading).
This 'from_dict' factory method recurses into the 'from_dict'
methods of each contained complex field/attribute that is also
represented by a class. Currently 'signed' is the only such
attribute.
This commit further:
- Changes optional constructor keyword arguments to mandatory
positional arguments: Reduces code and simplifies usage by
restricting it. For now, users are unlikely to call
constructor directly anyway, but the 'from_dict' factory (or
its 'from_json_file' wrapper) instead.
- Removes Signed.__expiration (datetime) vs. Signed.expires
(datestring) dichotomy: Keeping only one representation of the
same attribute in memory makes the interface simpler and less
ambiguous. We choose the datetime object, because it is more
convenient to modify. Transformation from and to the string
format required by the tuf wireline format is performed in the
corresponding metadata de/serialization methods, i.e.
('to_dict' and 'from_dict').
