Adds the following methods to `SecretKey`: - `from_sec1_der` - `from_sec1_pem` (requires `pem` feature) - `to_sec1_der` - `to_sec1_pem` (requires `pem` feature) These implement the SEC1 (RFC5915) ASN.1 DER encoding for elliptic curve private keys. These methods are extracted from and now consumed by the PKCS#8 implementation, as PKCS#8 is just a wrapper for this format when used with elliptic curve keys. It seems like it might be a good idea to eventually extract this into a `sec1` crate as a followup, providing a similar role to the `pkcs1` crate. This would allow a setup that works much more like the `rsa` crate does now, where impling `sec1` traits provides a blanket impl of PKCS#8 support.
