This function call was previously used to generate mappings from
potential subjects (or SANs) to certificates within the TLS client
object. However, newer Go versions have deprecated this method, instead
building the mapping automatically based on present certificates at
request time. Because the corresponding client configuration field is
not used in Vault (NameToCertificate), it is safe to remove this call
and leave it nil.

* skip hash bits verification for ed25519 #13253

In the Counter-mode KBKDF implementation, due to the nature of the PRF
(being implemented as a function rather than a hash.Hash instance), we
need to allocate a buffer capable of storing the entire input to the
PRF. This consists of the user-supplied context with 8 additional bytes
(4 before and 4 after) of encoded integers.
If the user supplies a maximally-sized context, the internally allocated
buffer's size computation will overflow, resulting in a runtime panic.
Guard against this condition.

does not exceed what the curve is capable of signing.

* fix adding clientID to request in audit log

* change encoding in tests
* add in client counts to request handling
* remove redundant client ID generation in request handling
* directly add clientID to req after handling token usage
* Modernize SSH key lengths
No default change was made in this commit; note that the code already
enforced a default of 2048 bits. ssh-keygen and Go's RSA key generation
allows for key sizes including 3072, 4096, 8192; update the values of
SSH key generation to match PKI's allowed RSA key sizes (from
certutil.ValidateKeyTypeLength(...)). We still allow the legacy SSH key
size of 1024; in the near future we should likely remove it.

* Ensure minimum of 2048-bit PKI RSA keys
While the stated path is a false-positive, verifying all paths is
non-trivial. We largely validate API call lengths using
certutil.ValidateKeyTypeLength(...), but ensuring no other path calls
certutil.generatePrivateKey(...) --- directly or indirectly --- is
non-trivial. Thus enforcing a minimum in this method sounds like a sane
compromise.

This change adds the ability to set the signature algorithm of the
CAs that Vault generates and any certificates it signs. This is a
potentially useful stepping stone for a SHA3 transition down the line.
Summary:
* Adds the field "signature_bits" to CA and Sign endpoints
* Adds support for SHA256, SHA384 and SHA512 signatures on EC and RSA
keytypes.
Unlike the other libraries that were migrated, there are no usages of
this lib in any of our plugins, and the only other known usage was in
go-kms-wrapping, which has been updated. Aliasing it like the other libs
would still keep the aws-sdk-go dep in the sdk module because of the
function signatures. So I've simply removed it entirely here.

This also temporarily disables couchbase, elasticsearch, and
mongodbatlas because the `Serve` function needs to change signatures
and those plugins are vendored in from external repos, causing problems
when building.
This is part 1 of 4 for renaming the `newdbplugin` package. This copies the existing package to the new location but keeps the current one in place so we can migrate the existing references over more easily.

* This package is new for 1.5 so this is not a breaking change.
* This is being moved because this code was originally intended to be used
within plugins, however the design of password policies has changed such
that this is no longer needed. Thus, this code doesn't need to be in the
public SDK.
