using OBJ xref utilities instead of string comparison with OID name.

This removes the arbitrary restriction on using SHA1 only with some ECC
ciphersuites.

  Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [xx XXX xxxx]
 
+  *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
+     signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
+     Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
+     [Steve Henson]
+
   *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
      by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
