upstream: When signing certificates with an RSA key, default to
using the rsa-sha2-512 signature algorithm. Certificates signed by RSA keys will therefore be incompatible with OpenSSH < 7.2 unless the default is overridden. Document the ability of the ssh-keygen -t flag to override the signature algorithm when signing certificates, and the new default. ok deraadt@ OpenBSD-Commit-ID: 400c9c15013978204c2cb80f294b03ae4cfc8b95
