Support signing requests using Ed25519

Allow requests to be signed using Ed25519 private keys by passing a nil digest.
This is similar to commit b0fc100 when signing certs.

Calling PKey#public_key is deprecated and does not work for Ed25519. The same
can be accomplished by passing the private key.
