ml-dsa: large crate size due to test vectors
I just noticed ml-dsa v0.1.0-pre.0 is 1.44MB in size due to the .json files for KATs/test vectors.
Perhaps we could omit these from the published crate to reduce its size?

I think removing the KAT files is reasonable, but if there ever is a way to cargo test on all dependencies as well, as discussed here:
https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/a-way-to-run-tests-for-all-your-dependencies-recursively/20584
Then perhaps a ml-dsa-kat package could be added with the data files and any additional test code. Dependents could add this to their dev dependencies. That's me thinking in Debian packaging terms though, so not sure if that's the correct approach in Rust land.
Yeah, I don't see a reason to package the tests in distributions. They're in the repo purely for development purposes; I wouldn't expect anyone importing the crate to use them. But I'm definitely not an expert in crate packaging.
