Subject: [PATCH] Fix hashlen overflow

struct pgpDigParams_s keeps a copy of the verbatim key material for
hashing.  The length of this data is kept in 'hashlen' which
previously was a uint8_t.  However, the size of the signature's hashed
subpacket area can be up to 2^16 bytes, and one needs to hash some of
the signature packet's fields on top of that.

Hence, 'hashlen' must be at least a uint32_t.

This overflow happens in practice as soon as the signature's hashed
subpacket area contains an embedded signature.  See section 11.1 of
RFC4880:

   Each Subkey packet MUST be followed by one Signature packet, which
   should be a subkey binding signature issued by the top-level key.
   For subkeys that can issue signatures, the subkey binding signature
   MUST contain an Embedded Signature subpacket with a primary key
   binding signature (0x19) issued by the subkey on the top-level key.

While the embedded signature may be in the unhashed subpacket area
because it is self-authenticating, it is more robust to put it in the
hashed area.
