DSA signatures and DHE-DSS are disabled by default

DSA was an algorithm that was never deployed on the Internet
and had, until very recently, several limitations such as
restriction of its keys to 1024 bits, SHA1-only etc. Given
that there are literally 0 internet (HTTPS) certificates using
DSA, there is no point to enable it by default and increase
our attack surface.
