Motivation / Problem

Due to an upgrade of the Windows SDK used on the GitHub Actions virtual environments, an error is printing when attempting to code sign:

SignTool Error: No file digest algorithm specified. Please specify the digest algorithm with the /fd flag. Using /fd SHA256 is recommended and more secure than SHA1. Calling signtool with /fd sha1 is equivalent to the previous behavior. In order to select the hash algorithm used in the signing certificate's signature, use the /fd certHash option.

This means the certificate is only being SHA-256 timestamped, but the SHA-1 timestamping is failing. While this doesn't really matter for modern versions of Windows, Windows Vista and possibly 7 pre-SP1 only support SHA-1.

Description

This patch updates the syntax of the SignTool call to be explicit about the digest algorithm we want to use.
