certs: Limit MODULE_SIG_KEY_TYPE_ECDSA to SHA384 or SHA512
NIST FIPS 186-5 states that it is recommended that the security
strength associated with the bit length of n and the security strength
of the hash function be the same, or higher upon agreement. Given NIST
P384 curve is used, force using either SHA384 or SHA512.
