Description

In #8803 we moved some functions out into build-constrained files in order to use the crypto/mldsa package ahead of Go 1.27's release. Once that's released, bump our go.mod to 1.27 and move those functions back to where they were.

Research direction

Start with issue #8803 and inspect the build-constrained files and the functions moved there for the temporary crypto/mldsa compatibility. After Go 1.27 is available, update go.mod to 1.27, move those functions back to their original locations, and run the relevant Go tests to confirm the build remains correct.
