I'm a bit busy this month, so deferring this to the next month. Here are some notes (for myself) to continue working on this:
- The signing logic has actually 3 backends: X.509 (i.e., Nettle or the new pkcs11-provider), external callbacks, and the legacy PKCS#11 private key support. Currently all of them do "raw" signing with a given public key algorithm. To support single-shot signing, the latter two still need pre-hashing for backward compatibility
- The low level signing functions (e.g., _gnutls_pk_sign) should take a signing algorithm instead of a public key algorithm to support single-shot operation naturally. Then we can remove `*_dig` fields in `gnutls_x509_spki_st`
