This is basically the same as #26 but implements the automatic algo selection by checking the firmware version as you mentioned in the other PR.

Yubikeys officially added support for Ed25519 keys in firmware version 5.7.0. Upstream piv-go added support for it in go-piv/piv-go#157 (released in v2.2.0).

Note that Yubikey firmware 5.4.0 (technically 5.4.2 but I used the same version check as piv-go, see this comment) added support for AES management keys so I also used the same firmware version detection method to upgrade the management key to AES256.

Tested locally on macOS Sequoia with Yubikey firmware 5.7.1

I tried this out using Debian 13 with a YubiKey 5.7.1. The setup configured an ed25519 key, which was exposed in the agent afterwards. Finally connecting to a server key worked without issues.

Using an older YubiKey 5.2.7 resulted in an ecdsa key instead, as expected. All good! 😀
