When support for ECDSA keys was added, constraints for data & signature
sizes were never updated.  This makes it impossible to use such keys via
keyctl API from userspace.

Update constraint on max_data_size to 64 bytes in order to support
SHA512-based signatures. Also update the signature length constraints
per ECDSA signature encoding described in RFC 5480.

Fixes: 299f561a6693 ("x509: Add support for parsing x509 certs with ECDSA keys")

Hi

What's the hold-up with this patch? I would really appreciate if someone could take a look at it and move it along to finally enable iwd to connect to networks using ECDSA certificates (my eduroam network for example).
