This is needed to support FIPS builds without SHA-1. itsdangerous includes a patch for this issue, but the TimestampSigner used in SessionMiddleware does not allow the digest_method to be changed from the itsdangerous default, which is SHA1, and causes SessionMiddleware to generate an exception in a ubi8/ubi9 RedHat container

What's the right type for this digest_method?

I am not sure what the correct type is, I just borrowed the Any type from the itsdangerous code.

Summary
itsdangerous includes a patch for this issue, but the TimestampSigner used in SessionMiddleware does not allow the digest_method to be changed from the itsdangerous default, which is SHA1, and causes SessionMiddleware to generate an exception in a ubi8/ubi9 RedHat container. This commit allows the Starlette Session Middleware to support FIPS builds without SHA-1 by adding a digest_method parameter to the constructor.
