There are many reasons why a driver might violate the security requirements
for plaintext or ciphertext buffers, so mandate copying.

0385c2815c Tighten thread safety requirements
We shouldn't violate the requirement that the key identifier can be
reused. In practice, a key manager may destroy a key that's in use by
another process, and the privileged world containing the key manager and
the crypto service should not be perturbed by an unprivileged process.

With respect to blocking, again, a key manager should not be blocked
indefinitely by an unprivileged application.

These are desirable properties even in the short term.

ccb0344969 test: add GIT alternative commands for older GIT versions
The Docker container used for the CI has Git version 2.7.4 which
does not support the "git branch --show-current" command since this
was added in version 2.22.
Therefore this commit adds an alternative version for old Git versions.
