Description

This reduces the support for key types to just ECC_NIST_P256 for the initial release.

Context

The reason I removed the other key types are:

  1. The RSA types are more complex to configure and use as they support multiple signing algorythms, some of which have issues as identified in https://buildkite.com/docs/agent/v3/signed-pipelines regarding RSASSA-PKCS1 v1.5 signatures.
  2. Currently the ECC_NIST_P256 is the only ECDSA KMS key type tested for crypto.Signing with KMS in our JWS library, I will need to raise this upstream to figure out why.

So given the ECC_NIST_P256 is widely used I think it is fine as a starting point for KMS signing support.
