check if rsa public exponent is odd and check its value is between
2^16 < e < 2^256.

FIPS 186-5 DSS (page 35)[1] specify that:
1. The public exponent e shall be selected with the following constraints:
  (a) The public verification exponent e shall be selected prior to
  generating the primes, p and q, and the private signature exponent
  d.
  (b) The exponent e shall be an odd positive integer such that:
   2^16 < e < 2^256.
