Bind signature salt size to hash function

Aron Wussler requested to merge wussler/rfc4880bis:bind-salt-hash into main

This PR addresses #150 (closed).

As discussed at IETF-115 there seems to be an interest in binding the signature salt size to the hash function to match the expected security level of the hash function.

  • Added salt size to the hash function reference table
  • Changed fixed 16 octets to fixed octet string and reference the table
  • Added security considerations
