CVE-2026-53762: Wolfcrypt Hkdf Password Key Derivation

A key derivation function accepts an iteration parameter but uses wc_HKDF instead of a password-based key derivation function like wc_PBKDF2. HKDF does not support computational work factor scaling, severely weakening offline password security.
