Guides: CertFP: Change recommended private key algorithm to Ed25519 #324

OpenSSL 1.x is now EOL and OpenSSL 3 unconditionally supports Ed25519.

Our IRC servers are also using OpenSSL 3 and so also support it.

Performing a signature with Ed25519 is also both significantly faster, and much harder for cryptographic libraries to get wrong in a manner that affects security.
