crypto/tls: consolidate signatures handling in SKE and CV

ServerKeyExchange and CertificateVerify can share the same logic for
picking a signature algorithm (based on the certificate public key and
advertised algorithms), selecting a hash algorithm (depending on TLS
version) and signature verification.

Refactor the code to achieve code reuse, have common error checking
(especially for intersecting supported signature algorithms) and to
prepare for addition of new signature algorithms. Code should be easier
to read since version-dependent logic is concentrated at one place.
