Compiling to wasm with `crypto-primitives` feature is not possible on macOS

[Bargsteen]

Bug Description It is currently not possible to compile to the wasm32-unknown-unknown target on macOS when the crypto-primitives feature is enabled.

The issue is that the library we use for some of the cryptographic primitives, secp256k1, doesn't support this target on macOS. They are aware of the issue, but it sounds like a fix is not coming along soon. Actually, it sounds like it shouldn't work for wasm32-unknown-unknown on any platform, but it works on Linux (at least the parts we use in concordium-std).

We might consider replacing it with a pure rust library if we can find a suitable one.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Use concordium-std in a project (fx a smart contract ;))
2. Enable the crypto-primitives feature.
3. Compile to wasm32-unknown-unknown (fx by running cargo concordium build)

Expected Result Compiles successfully.

Actual Result Compilation fails with:

The following warnings were emitted during compilation:

warning: error: unable to create target: 'No available targets are compatible with triple "wasm32-unknown-unknown"'
warning: 1 error generated.

error: failed to run custom build command for `secp256k1-sys v0.5.2`
