crypto: mscode_parser - remove sha224 authenticode support
It is possible to stand up own certificates and sign PE-COFF binaries
using SHA-224. However it never became popular or needed since it has
similar costs as SHA-256. Windows Authenticode infrastructure never
had support for SHA-224, and all secureboot keys used fro linux
vmlinuz have always been using at least SHA-256.
Given the point of mscode_parser is to support interoperatiblity with
typical de-facto hashes, remove support for SHA-224 to avoid
posibility of creating interoperatibility issues with rhboot/shim,
grub, and non-linux systems trying to sign or verify vmlinux.
SHA-224 itself is not removed from the kernel, as it is truncated
SHA-256. If requested I can write patches to remove SHA-224 support
across all of the drivers.
