feat(identity): allow importing and exporting ECDSA keys

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: #3681.

Pull-Request: #3863.
