Any plan to support ES256: ECDSA over P256 / SHA-256 ?

Hi! Terribly sorry for such a late response; for some reason, I didn't get a GitHub notification as usual. In general, I hesitate to add new supported algs to the crate; at its inception, the primary motivation was to implement "reasonable" non-standard (at the time) algs, such as EdDSA (over Curve25519) and ES256K. However, RSA algs were added since... If ES256 is added, would it matter to you which crypto backend it would use (e.g., p256)? One thing that I certainly don't want to do is depending on OpenSSL 🙃

Thanks for your reply. Yes, p256 should be good, I also don't want OpenSSL.
