This, but with a small tweak: don't treat these values as requiring
special reservation (as we have done for existing hash/signature
values).

Rather than blocking out all 0x08 hashes, which might be the
consequence of this change, we can say that a hash of 0x08 AND either
0x07 or 0x08 identify these signature schemes.  We need to be able to
allocate 0x0809 at some point later.

Maybe also include a reference to TLS 1.3 (informative only) and
mention that this is compatible with the change from SignatureAndHash
to SignatureScheme in TLS 1.3.

Like Ilari, I have backported the TLS 1.3 change to TLS 1.2 and it
works fine.  It actually fixed some old bugs (such being unable to
sign with P-521 and SHA-256, but trying anyway).
