Remove SHA-1 in TLS by default

Default to forbidding the use of SHA-1 in TLS where it is unsafe: for
certificate signing, and as the signature hash algorithm for the TLS
1.2 handshake signature. SHA-1 remains allowed in HMAC-SHA-1 in the
XXX_SHA ciphersuites and in the PRF for TLS <= 1.1.

For easy backward compatibility for use in controlled environments,
turn on the MBEDTLS_TLS_DEFAULT_ALLOW_SHA1 compiled-time option.

mbed TLS 2.x.x branch released xxxx-xx-xx
Security
* SHA-1 deprecation: remove it from the default allowed hash
algorithms for certificate verification and TLS 1.2 handshake
signatures. It can be turned back on at compile time with
MBEDTLS_TLS_DEFAULT_ALLOW_SHA1 or explicitly with ssl_conf functions.
* Removed RIPEMD-160 from the default hash algorithms for
certificate verification.
Bugfix
* Remove invalid use of size zero arrays in ECJPAKE test suite.
* Fix insufficient support for signature-hash-algorithm extension,
