This commit is a follow-up to the discussion on bytecodealliance#6732. This removes Wasmtime's implementation of the wasi-crypto proposal from in-tree along with its various support in CI, configuration, etc. See the discussion on bytecodealliance#6732 for the full information but at a high level the main reasons for removing the implementation at this time are: * There is not currently an active maintainer of the Wasmtime integration here for wasi-crypto. * There are known issues with the code quality of the implementation such as transmutes of guest-owned memory to `&'static mut [u8]` and known unsafety in dependencies. * The size and breadth of the dependency tree brings maintenance burden and overhead to managing Wasmtime's dependency tree. As mentioned on the issue this commit does not mean that Wasmtime doesn't want to implement the wasi-crypto proposal. Instead the "tier 3" status of wasi-crypto needs to be re-attained to be included back in-tree, which would mean resolving the above issues. Note that this commit is intentionally just after the 13.0.0 branch point which means that this is slated for Wasmtime 14 to be released on September 20.
