rust-hpke DHKEM over secp256k1

Hello and thanks for a really nice crate!

I recently wrote a quick specification for DHKEM-over-secp256k1, for which IANA has allocated the codepoint 0x0016.

It would be fantastic if this crate were updated with support! I'd be very happy to make a PR (including test vectors from the spec) if that would be helpful. Please let me know if you'd be opposed to accepting such a PR, otherwise I will prepare and submit it as soon as I've got the time.

Hi Riad! Yes I would be happy to take the PR. The way we're doing it currently is we're keeping the draft specs in separate branches, eg unstable-pq-xyber, and backporting changes. When they're finalized, it'll be an easy merge

fwiw it looks like this should have code that's nearly identical to the existing p256 impl, assuming you use the pure Rust impl. In that case, I think it'd be cleanest to turn the p256 impl into a macro

If you'd like to use both the p256 and k256 crates, you can use generics rather than macros.

We can potentially add some upstream hints/marker traits to these crates to help out if need be.
