openssl_privatekey: add ECC support (#49416)

* Add cryptography backend for openssl_privatekey.

* Adding ECC support.

No support for X25519 and X449, since they don't support serialization.

* Improve finterprint calculation to work with Python 3.

* Add fingerprint check.

* Fix typo.

* Use separate curve option for elliptic curves, and use type 'ECC'.

* Using curve names as defined in IANA registry.

* Bump minimal supported cryptography version. Older versions might work as well, but I couldn't test them.

* Improve documentation.
