Clarify when local copies of metadata should be loaded in order to support rollback checks #197

Open joshuagl opened 2 years ago

Rollback checks in the specification imply that previously downloaded locally cached copies of non-root metadata are loaded in order to compare against. However, the specification does not explicitly state that they should be loaded nor provide recommendations on when to load.
