An incompatibility has always existed between the format used for RSA
signatures and MDC2 using EVP or RSA_sign. This has become more apparent
when the dgst utility in OpenSSL 1.0.0 and later switched to using the
EVP_DigestSign functions which call RSA_sign.
This means that the signature format OpenSSL 1.0.0 and later used with
dgst -sign and MDC2 is incompatible with previous versions.
Add detection in RSA_verify so either format works.
Note: MDC2 is disabled by default in OpenSSL and very rarely used in practice.

+ *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP

+ OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular

*) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum pemitted
