Update thumbprint hashing algorithm used for compute manager extension

Updates configuration of algorithm used for thumbprint hashing
used in stamping nsx manager thumbprint in compute manager extension.
Changing this setting to SHA256 will result in communication issues between
WCP component in VC and NSX manager.
Hence it is recommended not to use SHA256 if VC WCP feature is being used with NSX.

CmThumbprintHashingConfig (schema)

Name	Description	Type	Notes
hashing_algorithm_type	Algorithm type for thumbprint hashing This specifies the hashing algorithm to be used for stamping NSX manager thumbprint in compute manager extension. e.g. When a vCenter is registered as compute manager, thumbprint of NSX manager certificate is stamped in NSXT extension on vCenter. If algorithm type is SHA1, then SHA1 thumbprint of NSX manager API certificate is stamped. If algorithm type is SHA256, then SHA256 thumbprint of NSX manager certificate is stamped. Changing this setting to SHA256 will result in communication issues between WCP component in VC and NSX manager. Hence it is recommended not to use SHA256 if VC WCP feature is being used with NSX.	string	Required Enum: SHA1, SHA256
