Changes: - Remove MonadSodium typeclass - Express mlocked memory operations in terms of MonadST - Get rid of ForgetMock testing (has been moot since we no longer depend on GC to reclaim mlocked memory) - Remove `m` parameter from mlocked memory based typeclasses (KES, DSIGN) - Simplify KES and DSIGN typeclass hierarchies

This is an alternative approach to generalizing mlocking allocations over "arbitrary" monads (specifically, we want
IOandIOSim).#388 introduces a
MonadMLocktypeclass, in much the same way asio-classesprovidesMonadMVar,MonadDelay, etc.; this PR takes a different approach, based on the observation that all the mlocked allocation and raw memory manipulation APIs, while technically inIO, are morally inST- their only effects are memory manipulations, there's no I/O going on, no randomness, etc. So we provide versions of all those primitives and FFI functions inST(or rather, with aMonadSTconstraint), which automatically makes them available inIOandIOSim.One complication of this is that we cannot use the
MonadMLocktypeclass to inject mlock allocation logging, like we did in #388; we solve this by changing the relevant APIs such that they take an explicitMLockedAllocatorargument, and API-backards-compatible convenience wrappers that default the allocator tomlockedMalloc. And now we can implement mlocked allocation logging by passing a "decorated" allocator (which not only allocates, but also logs the allocation, and attaches deallocation logging code to the finalizer), while using the compatible wrappers outside of testing.
