Description
Remove DES from the next major version of Mbed TLS.
Rationale: DES, even 3DES, is no longer in common use. NIST no longer allows it except to process legacy data since the withdrawal of SP 800-67r2 in January 2024. DES remains in use mainly in some banking applications, where Mbed TLS is not commonly used.
This is broader than #4396 and easier to do.
