[crypto] Remove the concept of a public-key algorithm reusable context

Instances of cipher and digest algorithms tend to get called
repeatedly to process substantial amounts of data.  This is not true
for public-key algorithms, which tend to get called only once or twice
for a given key.

Simplify the public-key algorithm API so that there is no reusable
algorithm context.  In particular, this allows callers to omit the
error handling currently required to handle memory allocation (or key
parsing) errors from pubkey_init(), and to omit the cleanup calls to
pubkey_final().

This change does remove the ability for a caller to distinguish
between a verification failure due to a memory allocation failure and
a verification failure due to a bad signature.  This difference is not
material in practice: in both cases, for whatever reason, the caller
was unable to verify the signature and so cannot proceed further, and
the cause of the error will be visible to the user via the return
status code.
