crypto: sig - Prepare for algorithms with variable signature size

The callers of crypto_sig_sign() assume that the signature size is
always equivalent to the key size.

This happens to be true for RSA, which is currently the only algorithm
implementing the ->sign() callback.  But it is false e.g. for X9.62
encoded ECDSA signatures because they have variable length.

Prepare for addition of a ->sign() callback to such algorithms by
letting the callback return the signature size (or a negative integer
on error).  When testing the ->sign() callback in test_sig_one(),
use crypto_sig_maxsize() instead of crypto_sig_keysize() to verify that
the test vector's signature does not exceed an algorithm's maximum
signature size.

There has been a relatively recent effort to upstream ECDSA signature
generation support which may benefit from this change:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-crypto/20220908200036.2034-1-ignat@cloudflare.com/

However the main motivation for this commit is to reduce the number of
crypto_sig_keysize() callers:  This function is about to be changed to
return the size in bits instead of bytes and that will require amending
most callers to divide the return value by 8.
