Use NV cert index as auth hierarchy for EK cert

This is the same approach tpm2_getekcertificate uses, with its
`TPM2_HANDLE_FLAGS_NV` flag.

The main impetus here is is ChromeOS's vtpm implementation[1], which
doesn't have a concept of an "owner" or "platform" password and expects
the NV index itself as the auth hierarchy. In either case, as this is
the same approach tpm2_getekcertificate uses this should provide a more
standard/common approach as opposed to relying on the owner password to
be empty.

Tested with both CrOS's vTPM and a real TPM on Debian.
