Enable ECDSA ciphers when running with FIPS cryptography

In FIPS mode, certain cryptographic algorithms are typically disabled.
This includes the algorithm `SHA1withECDSA` since `SHA1` is no longer
recommended for general use.

The `JSSE`provider, responsible for managing TLS cipher specifications,
currently disables all `*ECDSA*` ciphers due to the absence of the
`SHA1withECDSA` algorithm on the system when running in FIPS mode.
This behavior is inaccurate, since other ECDSA-related
transformations, such as `SHA512withECDSA` or `SHA384withECDSA`, are
available in a FIPS environment and can be used for TLS connections.

With this update, `*ECDSA*` ciphers can now be enabled in FIPS mode. We
will allow for `*ECDSA*` ciphers to be enabled if any algorithm in the
ECDSA family is present such as `SHA512withECDSA`, `SHA384withECDSA`,
`SHA256withECDSA`, or `SHA224withECDSA`. We expect all these algorithms
to be present in the various FIPS solutions available within Semeru.
