Fix pkcs11 public key ID parsing with newer pkcs11-tool

Newer versions of pkcs11-tool changed their -O output to show IDs as
3 (0x03) instead of just 03. The existing parsing in clevis-encrypt-pkcs11
used tr -d ' ' which stripped spaces but left the parenthetical annotation,
producing an invalid ID like 3(0x03). This caused the error:

Invalid ID "3(0x03)"
Unable to obtain a public key from PKCS#11 device

Fix

Replace tr -d ' ' with awk '{print $1}' to extract only the actual ID
value, handling both the old format (ID: 03) and the new format
(ID: 3 (0x03)).
