Research direction
Start by reading the BoringSSL slhdsa.h API linked in the issue and locating this crate’s existing BoringSSL binding entry points for related algorithms. Done means SLH-DSA is exposed through the Rust bindings with coverage for the supported API, but the issue does not name specific files or tests to run.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Would be great to support SLH-DSA as it is implemented in BoringSSL: https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chromium-boringssl-docs/slhdsa.h.html
