Luke Parker 2f833dec77 Add job to competently check MSRVs
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.

Ciphersuite

Ciphersuites for elliptic curves premised on ff/group.

This library, except for the not recommended Ed448 ciphersuite, was audited by Cypher Stack in March 2023, culminating in commit 669d2dbffc1dafb82a09d9419ea182667115df06. Any subsequent changes have not undergone auditing.

This library is usable under no_std. The alloc and std features enable reading from the io::Read trait, shimmed by std-shims under alloc.

Secp256k1/P-256

Secp256k1 and P-256 are offered via k256 and p256, two libraries maintained by RustCrypto.

Their hash_to_F is the IETF's hash to curve, yet applied to their scalar field.

Please see the ciphersuite-kp256 crate for more info.

Ed25519/Ristretto

Ed25519/Ristretto are offered via dalek-ff-group, an ff/group wrapper around curve25519-dalek.

Their hash_to_F is the wide reduction of SHA2-512, as used in RFC-8032. This is also compliant with the draft RFC-RISTRETTO. The domain-separation tag is naively prefixed to the message.

Please see the dalek-ff-group crate for more info.

Ed448

Ed448 is offered via minimal-ed448, an explicitly not recommended, unaudited, incomplete Ed448 implementation, limited to its prime-order subgroup.

Its hash_to_F is the wide reduction of SHAKE256, with a 114-byte output, as used in RFC-8032. The domain-separation tag is naively prefixed to the message.

Please see the minimal-ed448 crate for more info.
