Description

The support was removed in #1999 to preserve MSRV 1.85. We intend to add it back in aead v0.6.1.

Note that adding it would require bumping aead MSRV to 1.87, which would make MSRV testing of other crates more difficult.

Research direction

Start by reviewing issue #1999 and the current aead release and MSRV configuration. Determine how heapless v0.9 support should be restored for aead v0.6.1 while handling the proposed MSRV increase and its effect on MSRV testing for other crates; done means the support and testing constraints are resolved.
