Use newer digest algorithms in TLS error dialog
MD5 has been broken for a long time now and SHA1 has been
deprecated as well. SHA1 is not used when issuing new
publicly trusted certificates since 1 January 2016[1] and
there are more and more effective attacks[2][3] against it,
so display SHA1 fingerprint only for old certificates
to encourage use of safer digests by users.
So, we display SHA-256 and SHA-512 fingerprints instead in
the common case.
