feat: Simplify asymmetric encryption/decryption
Some checks are pending
Rhai Tests / Run Rhai Tests (pull_request) Waiting to run

- Simplify asymmetric encryption by using a single symmetric key
  instead of deriving a key from an ephemeral key exchange.  This
  improves clarity and reduces complexity.
- The new implementation encrypts the symmetric key with the
  recipient's public key and then encrypts the message with the
  symmetric key.
- Improve test coverage for asymmetric encryption/decryption.
