Yes I thought about it, but neither params seem to be a good fit for this flag: `gnutls_pk_params_st` is associated with the private key, so it lasts after signing, and `gnutls_x509_spki_st` is a public interface about SPKI, while deterministic signing has nothing to do with it.

Also `privkey_sign_prehashed()` already takes a flag in addition to those params.
