Luke Parker 90bc364f9f Replace Ciphersuite::hash_to_F
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.

Distributed Key Generation

A crate implementing a type for keys, presumably the result of a distributed key generation protocol, and utilities from there.

This crate used to host implementations of distributed key generation protocols as well (hence the name). Those have been smashed into their own crates, such as dkg-musig and dkg-pedpop.

Before being smashed, this crate was audited by Cypher Stack in March 2023, culminating in commit 669d2dbffc1dafb82a09d9419ea182667115df06. Any subsequent changes have not undergone auditing.
