cert_tool: Support for legacy RSA PKCS#1 v1.5
This patch enables choice of RSA version at run time to be used for
generating signatures by the cert_tool. The RSA PSS as defined in
PKCS#1 v2.1 becomes the default version and this patch enables to specify
the RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 algorithm to `cert_create` through the command line
-a option. Also, the build option `KEY_ALG` can be used to pass this
option from the build system. Please note that RSA PSS is mandated
by Trusted Board Boot requirements (TBBR) and legacy RSA support is
being added for compatibility reasons.
Fixes ARM-Software/tf-issues#499
