<!-- Add a description of the new feature/bug fix. Reference any relevant bugs. -->

This adds support for RIPEMD160 and PBES1-DES-SHA1 for backward compatibility with GCR, where we try to [support](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gcr/-/merge_requests/140) GnuTLS as an alternative crypto backend.

* x509: support PBES1-DES-SHA1

PBES1 with single DES backed by SHA-1 hash is used to parse legacy
PKCS#8 file in GCR.
