Add universal default key_bits value for PKI endpoints (#13080)

* Allow universal default for key_bits

This allows the key_bits field to take a universal default value, 0,
which, depending on key_type, gets adjusted appropriately into a
specific default value (rsa->2048, ec->256, ignored under ed25519).

* Handle universal default key size in certutil

Also move RSA < 2048 error message into certutil directly, instead of in
ca_util/path_roles.

* Add missing RSA key sizes to pki/backend_test.go

* Switch to returning updated values

When determining the default, don't pass in pointer types, but instead
return the newly updated value.

* Re-add fix for ed25519 from #13254

Ed25519 internally specifies a hash length; by changing the default from
256 to 0, we fail validation in ValidateSignatureLength(...) unless we
specify the key algorithm.
