hsm_encryption: delete hsm_encryption

Changelog-Removed: Remove hsm_encryption files as they have now been replaced by hsm_secret
✓ Descriptive subject✓ Provides an explanatory body
The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit simply removes an old set of source files and test data for HSM (Hardware Security Module) encryption. The code being deleted is described by the developer as having been replaced by a newer 'hsm_secret' implementation. There is no indication in the commit that this fixes a security vulnerability; it appears to be routine cleanup of replaced code.

Recommended action

Verify that the replacement hsm_secret implementation provides equivalent or stronger protection, that encrypted secrets from the old module can still be decrypted or safely migrated, and that no other code still references the deleted symbols. No immediate security action is indicated by this commit alone.

Security signals we found
