Thank you for the tidy-up!
There are some good ideas in here. I've made some comments throughout. Most importantly, I think we can easily do this in a non-breaking way by just adding new functions and deprecating old ones.

I merged latest master because there was some diff of other PRs. |

Now I guess this commit is mostly about renaming. |

It is a shame that we rename the function here and cannot do the signature change to infalliblity at the same time. For that we need to also implement RSA encoding but I think for that we need to switch to the rsa crate which I want to debate first.
I wonder:
- should we delay the rename of this function until then so we can land the rest now
- should we rename it with the others and send users through another rename (+ signature change) once we support RSA

Delay the rename then.

Well the crate has been audited RustCrypto/RSA#60, but the non constant-time issue RustCrypto/RSA#19 is still not solved yet. |
In that case, I'd say we keep things as is for now. I have very limited capacity this month and will step down from active maintenance after that so I'd like to focus the remaining time on other issues. |

Implement encoding to/decoding from DER-encoded secret key document for `ecdsa::SecretKey`. Implement encoding to/decoding from protobuf format for ECDSA keys. Bump dependency `p256` from 0.12 to 0.13. Bump dependency `sec1` from 0.3.0 to 0.7 Related: libp2p#3681. Pull-Request: libp2p#3863.
Related: libp2p#3681 Pull-Request: libp2p#3887.
Description
Previously, we only supported encoding the ed25519 private key. To be fully compliant with the spec, we also need to support encoding the other 3 key types ECDSA, RSA and secp256k1.
