Daniel D’Aquino a6e123e928 Remove rust-nostr dependency
This commit removes rust-nostr dependency, and replaces the NIP-44 logic
with a new NIP-44 module based on the Swift NostrSDK implementation.

The decision to move away from rust-nostr and the Swift NostrSDK was
made for the following reasons:
1. `rust-nostr` caused the app size to double
2. We only need NIP44 functionality, and we don't need to bring
   everything else
3. The Swift NostrSDK caused conflicts around the secp256k1 dependency
   that is hard to address
4. The way we do things in the codebase is far different from the Swift
   NostrSDK, and we optimize it for use with NostrDB. Bringing it an
   outside library causes significant complexity in integration with
   NostrDB, and would effectively cause the codebase to be split into
   two different ways of achieving the same results. Therefore it is
   cleaner if we stick to our own Nostr structures and functions and
   focus on maintaining them.

However, the library CryptoSwift was added as a dependency, to bring in
ChaCha20 which is not supported by CryptoKit (CryptoKit supports the
ChaCha20-Poly1305 cipher, but NIP-44 uses ChaCha20 with HMAC-SHA256
instead)
