build: consolidate secp256k1 into new crate bitbox-secp256k1

- cargo-first build of the secp256k1-zkp C dep, so the crate can be
compiled without CMake and normal cargo tooling works
- Moved bitbox02::secp256k1 and bitbox02_rust::secp256k1 into it

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a build-system refactor: it moves the secp256k1 cryptographic library dependency into a new Rust crate called bitbox-secp256k1 so it can be built with normal Cargo tooling instead of CMake. The actual cryptographic functions (signing, nonce commitments, DLEQ proofs, etc.) are copied almost unchanged from existing modules into the new crate. There is no direct evidence in the commit that this fixes a security vulnerability or introduces a new exploit.

Recommended action

No immediate security action required. Treat as routine build refactor. If reviewing for security, verify that the new build.rs preserves the same secp256k1-zkp source tree, compiler flags, and module enables as the old CMake build, and that the moved FFI bindings remain correct.

Security signals we found

01

Refactor only: cryptographic code relocated, not modified

02

Build configuration constants preserved (ECMULT_WINDOW_SIZE=2, ECMULT_GEN_PREC_BITS=2, same module enables)

03

No new unsafe blocks introduced beyond existing FFI bindings

04

No mention of vulnerability, CVE, bug, or security fix in commit message or diff

05

No changes to input validation or memory handling visible in the moved functions
