Description

lpc55_sign::Error has become a dumping ground for every function provided in that crate. While there is some overlap between commands, there's also a bunch that is orthogonal. Ideally, lpc55_sign::Error would be broken up into a bunch of different error types so users of the error code don't have to deal with 20 variants that can't possible happen on whatever function they are using.

Research direction

Start by reviewing lpc55_sign::Error and the functions in the crate that use its variants. Separate errors by the commands or functions that can produce them, then verify that each function's public error type no longer exposes unrelated variants.
