The backstory of these traits was once upon a time we didn't yet have the trait structure in place to express algorithms like ECDSA signing and verification generically, so each crate (at the time just `k256` and `p256`) had a nearly duplicated implementation of ECDSA, with `k256` including tweaks for low-S normalization. Now the `ecdsa` crate contains fully generic implementations of both algorithms, and with the `EcdsaCurve` trait, carries a `NORMALIZE_S` preference, so these traits are just needless indirection at this point. This removes the traits, converting non-trivial methods into static functions in the `hazmat` module, namely `sign_prehashed_rfc6979`.

These were removed upstream in RustCrypto/signatures#793. The ECDSA implementation is fully generic now. These traits were originally for per-curve implementations, but those are no-longer needed. The upstream implementation now has native support for low-S normalization by way of `EcdsaCurve::NORMALIZE_S`.
