Since OpenSSL 3.1 a new RSA-PSS salt length constant exists to select
the maximum possible salt length based on the RSA-PSS parameters and the
digest used: OSSL_PKEY_RSA_PSS_SALT_LEN_AUTO_DIGEST_MAX
This is the default salt length when no other salt length is set by
the caller.
In contrast to OSSL_PKEY_RSA_PSS_SALT_LEN_MAX, OSSL_PKEY_RSA_PSS_SALT_LEN_AUTO_DIGEST_MAX
also ensures that the resulting salt length is not larger than the used
digest size. The salt length calculated with OSSL_PKEY_RSA_PSS_SALT_LEN_MAX
may be larger than the digest size, dependent on the RSA-PSS parameters.
FIPS 186-4 section 5 "The RSA Digital Signature Algorithm", subsection
5.5 "PKCS #1" says: "For RSASSA-PSS […] the length (in bytes) of the
salt (sLen) shall satisfy 0 <= sLen <= hLen, where hLen is the length of
the hash function output block (in bytes)."
