pycryptodome 4.1.0 on Python PyPI

New features

New module Crypto.PublicKey.MLDSA, for ML-DSA keys (FIPS 204).
It is based on the portable C code of mldsa-native <https://github.com/pq-code-package/mldsa-native>_ (v2.0.0), with the Keccak code of PyCryptodome. On CPUs with AVX2 and BMI2, a version compiled for them and with 4-way SHA-3 is used: compared to the portable version, key generation and verification are 30-45% faster, signing 15-30%.
New module Crypto.Signature.mldsa, for ML-DSA and HashML-DSA signatures (FIPS 204), hedged (default) or deterministic, with an optional context. The new MLDSAMuHash computes the message representative mu (external mu), to sign or verify a large message in pieces.
New function digest() in the modules of the SHA-2 and SHA-3 hashes, to hash a whole message with a single call, like Crypto.Hash.KangarooTwelve.digest(). For messages up to 1 KiB, it is 1.5x to 3.4x faster than new() followed by digest().
Crypto.IO.PKCS8.wrap() has a new parameter public_key, to create a OneAsymmetricKey version 2 (RFC 5958) with the field publicKey. Crypto.IO.PKCS8.unwrap() returns an UnwrappedKey: still a tuple (oid, private_key, params),
with the same items as attributes, plus public_key (the field publicKey, if present).
The scalar Keccak permutation (used by SHA-3, SHAKE, cSHAKE, KMAC, TupleHash, TurboSHAKE and KangarooTwelve) processes the state one plane at a time, two rounds per iteration, which needs fewer registers: SHA-3 and SHAKE are 5-10% faster.

Crypto.PublicKey.ECC.import_key() checks that the field publicKey of a PKCS#8 OneAsymmetricKey version 2 (RFC 5958), if present, matches the private key. Before, it was ignored.
