TBB: use SHA256 to generate the certificate signatures 

This patch replaces SHA1 by SHA256 in the 'cert_create' tool, so
certificate signatures are generated according to the NSA Suite B
cryptographic algorithm requirements.

Documentation updated accordingly.

In the TBB CoT all certificates are self-signed. There is no need for a
Certificate Authority (CA) because the CoT is not established by verifying the
validity of a certificate's issuer but by the content of the certificate
extensions. To sign the certificates, the PKCS#1 SHA-1 with RSA Encryption
extensions. To sign the certificates, the PKCS#1 SHA-256 with RSA Encryption
signature scheme is used with a RSA key length of 2048 bits. Future version of
Trusted Firmware will replace SHA-1 usage with SHA-256 and support additional
cryptographic algorithms.
Trusted Firmware will support additional cryptographic algorithms.
The certificates are categorised as "Key" and "Content" certificates. Key
certificates are used to verify public keys which have been used to sign content
