certtool: generate RSA-PSS certificates from RSA keys
When generating certificates it was not possible to generate an RSA-PSS certificate from an RSA key (common scenario). This fixes the certificate generation to include such a method. Ironically there was a test for this scenario but the test was limited to checking that the combination of certtool parameters succeeded; modified the test to check the textual expression of the certificate for the RSA-PSS indicators.
