crypto: Make trivial types no-alloc

Having just moved from bitcoin, the code in crypto is all written
assuming the presence of alloc. In the new crate, it is better if the
alloc feature can be used correctly, and have most of the functionality
enabled even in a no-alloc environment.

Remove alloc feature from the modules and only alloc gate things which
can't trivially be used no-alloc.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a routine code reorganization for the rust-bitcoin crypto crate. It makes more modules available when the optional 'alloc' memory allocator feature is disabled, so the crate can be used in constrained environments. There is no indication of a security bug being fixed.

Recommended action

No security action required; review as normal feature-gating refactor.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
