PATCH 1/2 integrity: Select CRYPTO from INTEGRITY_ASYMMETRIC_KEYS

Select CRYPTO from INTEGRITY_ASYMMETRIC_KEYS, since INTEGRITY_ASYMMETRIC_KEYS selects several options that depend on CRYPTO.

This unblocks the removal of the CRYPTO selection from SIGNATURE. SIGNATURE (lib/digsig.c) itself will no longer need CRYPTO, but INTEGRITY_ASYMMETRIC_KEYS was depending on it indirectly via the chain SIGNATURE => INTEGRITY_SIGNATURE => INTEGRITY_ASYMMETRIC_KEYS.

PATCH 2/2 lib/digsig: Use SHA-1 library instead of crypto_shash

In reply to Eric Biggers

Now that a SHA-1 library API is available, use it instead of crypto_shash. This is simpler and faster.
