🟡 Changes recommended
src/classical_signature.rs has cfg-gated trait imports that will cause compilation failures when multiple signature features are enabled together (including the classical-signatures umbrella).

Pull request overview
This PR refactors the crate’s conventional/classical signature support by splitting algorithms into independent Cargo features (ECDSA, Ed25519, RSA) so downstream consumers can opt out of RSA, and it removes crate-local serde byte wrappers in favor of direct serdect adapters.
Changes:
- Split
classical-signaturesintoecdsa-signatures,ed25519-signatures, andrsa-signatures(keepingclassical-signaturesas an umbrella). - Replace crate-local
serialize_hex_or_bin/deserialize_hex_or_binusage with directserdectserde adapters across multiple key types and tests. - Update documentation, changelog, versioning, and CI to validate each conventional-signature feature independently.

- The test-only trait imports are also gated with mutually exclusive cfgs, which can cause compile failures under combined feature sets (e.g.
ecdsa-signatures+ed25519-signatures, orecdsa-signatures+rsa-signatures). In particular,to_pkcs8_der()andSha256::digest()in the tests rely onEncodePrivateKey/Digestbeing in scope in this module.
#[cfg(feature = "ed25519-signatures")]
use ed25519_dalek::pkcs8::EncodePrivateKey as _;
#[cfg(all(feature = "ecdsa-signatures", not(feature = "ed25519-signatures")))]
use p256::pkcs8::EncodePrivateKey as _;

Splits classical signatures into separate features. Use case is RSA may not be required or necessary most of the time and adds complexity to TLS.
