crypto: mscode_parser - remove sha224 authenticode support
It is possible to stand up own certificates and sign PE-COFF binaries using SHA-224. However it never became popular or needed since it has similar costs as SHA-256. Windows Authenticode infrastructure never had support for SHA-224, and all secureboot keys used fro linux vmlinuz have always been using at least SHA-256. Given the point of mscode_parser is to support interoperatiblity with typical de-facto hashes, remove support for SHA-224 to avoid posibility of creating interoperatibility issues with rhboot/shim, grub, and non-linux systems trying to sign or verify vmlinux. SHA-224 itself is not removed from the kernel, as it is truncated SHA-256. If requested I can write patches to remove SHA-224 support across all of the drivers.
