feat(crypto): add Ed25519 point and X25519 key validation
Adds functions to validate Ed25519 points and X25519 public keys: 1. `crypto_core_ed25519_is_valid_point()` in `crypto_core.rs`: - Implements strict Ed25519 point validation: * Rejects non-canonical encodings (high bit set) * Rejects all-zero point * Rejects identity element (small-order point) - Uses curve25519-dalek for curve equation check. - Stricter than libsodium for enhanced security. 2. `crypto_core_ed25519_is_valid_point_relaxed()` in `crypto_core.rs`: - A variant of the above that allows the high bit to be set. - Use this for validating public keys generated by `crypto_sign_keypair`. 3. `KeyPair::is_valid_public_key()` in `keypair.rs`: - Validates X25519 public keys for `crypto_box`. - Checks for non-zero point and high bit cleared. - Does not perform full curve check (per X25519 requirements). 4. `KeyPair::is_valid_ed25519_key()` in `keypair.rs`: - Convenience wrapper for `crypto_core_ed25519_is_valid_point_relaxed`. Also includes comprehensive tests for all new validation logic and adds the `CRYPTO_CORE_ED25519_BYTES` constant. These functions help prevent security issues from invalid cryptographic inputs.
