feat(crypto): add Ed25519 point and X25519 key validation functions

Adds two new validation functions to the library:

1. crypto_core_ed25519_is_valid_point() in crypto_core.rs:
   - Implements strict Ed25519 point validation with explicit checks:
     * Rejects non-canonical encodings (high bit in last byte set)
     * Rejects all-zero representation
     * Rejects the identity element ([1,0,...,0])
   - Uses curve25519-dalek for additional curve equation checking
   - Includes comprehensive documentation and test coverage
   - Note: Stricter than libsodium's validation for security reasons

2. KeyPair::is_valid_public_key() in keypair.rs:
   - Provides X25519 public key validation for crypto_box usage
   - Implements appropriate checks for X25519 context:
     * Rejects all-zero representation
     * Verifies high bit of last byte is clear
   - Clearly documents that this does not check if a point lies on the curve
   - Includes test coverage for valid/invalid key scenarios

These new functions allow users to validate cryptographic points/keys
before using them in operations, helping prevent potential security
issues with invalid or malicious inputs.

+/// Checks if a given point is on the Ed25519 curve.
+///
+/// This function determines if a given point is a valid point on the Ed25519
+/// curve that can be safely used for cryptographic operations.
+///
+/// # Security Note
+///
+/// This implementation uses `curve25519-dalek` for validation and is stricter
+/// than libsodium's `crypto_core_ed25519_is_valid_point`. Specifically, it may
+/// reject certain points, such as small-order points (e.g., the point
+/// represented by `[1, 0, ..., 0]`), which libsodium might accept. While
+/// libsodium's behavior provides compatibility, using points rejected by this
+/// function can lead to security vulnerabilities in certain protocols. Relying
+/// on this stricter check is generally recommended for new applications.
+///
+/// # Example
+///
+/// ```
+/// use dryoc::classic::crypto_core::{Ed25519Point, crypto_core_ed25519_is_valid_point};
+/// use dryoc::classic::crypto_sign::crypto_sign_keypair;
+///
+/// // Get a valid Ed25519 public key (valid point)
