The prior-present `Ciphersuite::hash_to_F` was a sin. Implementations took a
DST, yet were not require to securely handle it. It was also biased towards the
requirements of `modular-frost` as `ciphersuite` was originally written all
those years ago, when `modular-frost` had needs exceeding what `ff`, `group`
satisfied.
Now, the hash is bound to produce an output which can be converted to a scalar
with `ff::FromUniformBytes`. A new `hash_to_F`, which accepts a single argument
of the value to hash (removing the potential to insecurely handle the DST by
removing the DST entirely). Due to `digest` yielding a `GenericArray`, yet
`FromUniformBytes` taking a `const usize`, the `ciphersuite` crate now defines
a `FromUniformBytes` trait taking an array (then implemented for all satisfiers
of `ff::FromUniformBytes`). In order to get the array type from the
`GenericArray`, the output of the hash, `digest` is updated to the `0.11`
release candidate which moves to `flexible-array` which solves that problem.
The existing, specific `hash_to_F` functions have been moved to `modular-frost`
as necessary.
`flexible-array` itself is patched to a fork due to
https://github.com/RustCrypto/hybrid-array/issues/131.
The prior workflow (now deleted) required manually specifying the packages to
check and only checked the package could compile under the stated MSRV. It
didn't verify it was actually the _minimum_ supported Rust version. The new
version finds the MSRV from scratch to check if the stated MSRV aligns.
Updates stated MSRVs accordingly.
Also removes many explicit dependencies from secq256k1 for their re-exports via
k256. Not directly relevant, just part of tidying up all the `toml`s.
The main benefit is whatever scheduler is in use, we now have a single API to
receive TXs to sign (which is of value to the TX signer crate we'll inevitably
build).
