 - The `url` field in `snp_endorsements_servers` can now contain environment variables that will be resolved at startup, such as "$Fabric_NodeIPOrFQDN:2377" (#5862).
-- Add a `new snp_security_policy_file` configuration value under `attestation`, superseding the lookup from `$UVM_SECURITY_CONTEXT_DIR`. The value can contain environment variables, for example: `"snp_security_policy_file": "$UVM_SECURITY_CONTEXT_DIR/security-policy-base64"`.

The value can contain environment variables, for example: `"snp_uvm_endorsements_file": "$UVM_SECURITY_CONTEXT_DIR/reference-info-base64"`. This value can come from an untrusted location, like `snp_security_policy_file` and AMD endorsements (fetched from `snp_endorsements_servers`), because the CCF code contains pre-defined roots of trust.
