Refactor crypto package to use p256k1 signer

- Replaced the p256k package with p256k1.mleku.dev/signer across the codebase, updating all instances where the previous signer was utilized.
- Removed the deprecated p256k package, including all related files and tests, to streamline the codebase and improve maintainability.
- Updated various components, including event handling, database interactions, and protocol implementations, to ensure compatibility with the new signer interface.
- Enhanced tests to validate the new signing functionality and ensure robustness across the application.
- Bumped version to v0.23.3 to reflect these changes.
