* Update crypto commit hash

* Some fixes for xeddsa pr (#9610)

* fix: add null check for getMeshNode() in NodeInfoModule

getMeshNode() can return nullptr for unknown nodes. Dereferencing
without a check crashes the firmware when receiving NodeInfo from
a node not yet in the database.

* fix: enforce XEdDSA signature verification and prevent stripping

Previously, failed signature verification still allowed the packet
through, making signatures purely cosmetic. Now:

- Failed verification drops the packet (DECODE_FAILURE)
- Successfully verified nodes get HAS_XEDDSA_SIGNED bitfield set
- Unsigned packets from previously-signing nodes are rejected
- Log levels reduced from WARN/ERROR to DEBUG/WARN as appropriate

* fix: include packet metadata in XEdDSA signature

The signature now covers [fromNode | packetId | portnum | payload]
instead of just the payload bytes. This prevents:
- Replay attacks (different packetId fails verification)
- Reattribution (different fromNode fails verification)
- Portnum redirection (different portnum fails verification)

Also adds a key initialization check to xeddsa_sign (returns false
if XEdDSA keys are all zeros) and checks the return value in the
encode path.

* fix: handle existing key pair in AdminModule security config

When a user provides both a valid private key and public key via
admin config, the crypto engine's DH private key and owner public
key were never loaded. DMs and XEdDSA signing would silently break.

Add an else branch to load both keys into the crypto engine.

* perf: cache Ed25519 public key conversion in xeddsa_verify

curve_to_ed_pub() performs field element parsing, inversion, and
multiplication on every call. Since packets from the same node
tend to arrive in bursts, a single-entry cache avoids repeating
this expensive conversion for consecutive packets from one sender.

* fix: skip identity cleanup when node number is unchanged

createNewIdentity() was called on every generateCryptoKeyPair(),
including normal boots where the same key is regenerated. This
caused unnecessary NodeDB writes and old-node cleanup logic to
run when the node number hadn't actually changed.

Also fixes only zeroing byte[0] of the old node's public key
instead of clearing the entire array.

* fix: replace hardcoded 120 with derived XEDDSA_SIGNATURE_SIZE constant

The payload size check for XEdDSA signing used a magic number (120).
Replace with a derivation from DATA_PAYLOAD_LEN and XEDDSA_SIGNATURE_SIZE
so the limit adjusts automatically if constants change. This also
increases the max signable payload from 120 to 169 bytes, which is
still safe since the actual encoded size is checked after pb_encode.

* fix: add const qualifiers to XEdDSA verify and curve_to_ed_pub inputs

pubKey, payload, and signature parameters in xeddsa_verify are
input-only and should not be modified. Same for curve_pubkey in
curve_to_ed_pub.

* chore: remove commented-out old Crypto dependency in portduino.ini

* Leave out the admin module change for now
