acme: support custom crypto.Signer implementations

Currently, only rsa.PrivateKey and ecdsa.PrivateKey are supported
when creating JWS signatures. However, it is unnecessarily limiting
because any crypto.Signer implementation can sign a digest
in the appropriate format.

This change uses key.Public() instead of type-asserting the private
key which allows for a custom crypto.Signer implementation.
For instance, a key stored in a hardware module where the latter
does the actual signing without the key ever leaving its boundaries.
