The previous name confused LLMs as they assume it is intended to actually
cryptographically verify the public key. The new name more clearly
describes what it actually does.
If this is used, the functionality to set a private key/value/seed for
key exchange methods is removed (including from the interface to avoid
accidentally forgetting to wrap implementations and uses of set_seed()).
The set_seed() method is assigned outside the INIT() macro to avoid
potentially undefined behavior (preprocessing directives in macro
arguments).
The test done by the crypto tester is a simple functionality test.
Both Diffie-Hellman (DH) and Key Encapsulation Mechanism (KEM) based
key exchange methods use a common ke_test_vector format. The
set_seed() function is used to provide deterministic private key
material for the crypto tests.
