certs: Limit MODULE_SIG_KEY_TYPE_ECDSA to SHA384 or SHA512 

NIST FIPS 186-5 states that it is recommended that the security
strength associated with the bit length of n and the security strength
of the hash function be the same, or higher upon agreement. Given NIST
P384 curve is used, force using either SHA384 or SHA512.

Use an elliptic curve key (NIST P384) for module signing. Consider
using a strong hash like sha256 or sha384 for hashing modules.
Use an elliptic curve key (NIST P384) for module signing. Use
a strong hash of same or higher bit length, i.e. sha384 or
sha512 for hashing modules.
Note: Remove all ECDSA signing keys, e.g. certs/signing_key.pem,
when falling back to building Linux 5.14 and older kernels.
