Currently, 1024-bit RSA keys are generated for OVS tests, are suggested in
ovn-architecture manpage examples and are used to generate the RSA keys inside
the sandbox (make sandbox), but OpenSSL documentation suggests to use at least
2048-bit keys, since "fewer amount of bits is considered insecure or to be
insecure pretty soon" [1].

Moreover, it's not currently possible to use OVS with 1024-bit keys (and
some SSL-related tests fail for this reason) on Fedora 29 when the FUTURE
crypto policies are enabled [2]. FUTURE crypto policies will become the
DEFAULT soon on Fedora Rawhide.
