Description
See https://github.com/RustCrypto/meta/issues/29
In particular, subtle is part of the digest public API via the CtOutput type. elliptic-curve also uses it as a dependency. We probably should migrate before cutting the next breaking release.

Research direction
Start with the linked RustCrypto/meta issue and inspect how digest exposes subtle through CtOutput, along with elliptic-curve's dependency usage. The migration is complete when those public and dependency references use ctutils before the next breaking release.
