Can we please just fix this issue properly and add an "any(0xFF)" value to the 
enum so clients can explicitly tell the server that they're capable of trusting 
certs directly (or is doing OE) and the hash is potentially irrelevant?

Note that the current proposed change does not break your use-case. Those 
clients can simply offer SHA-1 support indefinitely. Sure, they don't strictly 
support using SHA-1, but they support receiving certs using it, which is all 
the signal is really for.
