Make ECDSA the default algorithm for the "-ca-alg" flag, replacing RSA. Also plumb that algorithm through to the end-entity key generation, making that configurable (and also defaulting it to ECDSA). This significantly speeds up minica by default.

$ git checkout origin/master
$ go build .
$ time (for i in {1..100}; do ./minica -domains $i.example.com; done)
