Mixed-mode pkey sign and verify must construct DigestInfo for PKCS #1.5.
PKCS #11 expects a DigestInfo rather than a raw digest when passing a
pre-computed digest for PKCS #1.5 signature or verification, so the
rpc_pkey signature and verification calls do too. This requires
special case handling of RSA when the user passes a digest handle in
mixed mode. Annoying, but PKCS #1.5 is weird enoug that there's no
way to avoid some kind of special case handling, this approach has the
advantage of not requiring us to parse and reconstruct the ASN.1, and
is probably what PKCS #11 has trained software to expect in any case.
