There are some use-cases where the output hash is not know ahead of time, but should be extracted from the attestation report. verify_and_extract works exactly like verify except that it returns the output hash instead of getting the output has as a parameter.

The key difference between having multiple smaller inputs vs one larger input is that every smaller input is hashed separately as opposed to one hash over the entire input. This makes it possible to easily append to inputs without having to calculate the hash over the entire input. This is very useful in scenarios where a verifier doesn't know an input, but knows its hash. With these changes, it's possible for a verifier to verify an attestation report with multiple such inputs.
