Allow intermediate CAs to use RSA PSS in 1.1.0
In 1.1.0 and above we check the digest algorithm used to create signatures in intermediate CA certs. If it is not sufficiently strong then we reject the cert. To work out what digest was used we look at the OID for the signature. This works for most signatures, but not for RSA PSS where the digest is stored as parameter of the SignatureAlgorithmIdentifier. This results in the digest look up routines failing and the cert being rejected. PR #3301 added support for doing this properly in master. So in that branch this all works as expected. It also works properly in 1.0.2 where we don't have the digest checks at all. So the only branch where this fails is 1.1.0. PR #3301 seems too significant to backport to 1.1.0. Instead we simply skip the signature digest algorithm strength checks if we detect RSA PSS. Fixes #3558.
