crypto: use decred secp256k1 directly (ethereum#30595)

Use `github.com/decred/dcrd/dcrec/secp256k1/v4` directly rather than
`github.com/btcsuite/btcd/btcec/v2` which is just a wrapper around the
underlying decred library. Inspired by
cosmos/cosmos-sdk#15018

`github.com/btcsuite/btcd/btcec/v2` has a very annoying breaking change
when upgrading from `v2.3.3` to `v2.3.4`. The easiest way to workaround
this is to just remove the wrapper.

Would be very nice if you could backport this to the release branches.
