63f7e222c9d78550f70365f2ac57d24158ad3447 ci: Simplify module configuration (mllwchrry)

Pull request description:

Enables all modules by default, and tests the disabling of each module separately (respecting the dependency chain). This simplifies the configuration of modules in CI and extends the test coverage.

The extended coverage is proven by exposing pre-existing issues fixed in #1837 and #1839.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This change only edits the project's automated continuous-integration (CI) configuration file. It turns on all optional cryptographic modules by default in CI and adds test runs that disable each module one at a time. There is no change to the actual library source code, build scripts, or released binaries, so it cannot directly introduce a runtime security vulnerability or fix one in shipped code. It is a testing-infrastructure cleanup that also increases coverage of build configurations.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as normal CI maintenance. Reviewers may optionally verify that the new disabled-module matrix entries correctly respect module dependencies (e.g., EXTRAKEYS disables SCHNORRSIG, MUSIG, SILENTPAYMENTS).

Security signals we found
