rCOMM506641f4a271: [services] Tunnelbroker - Remove `cryptopp` usage from the C++ codebase

Summary

This diff removes deprecated C++ code related to the use of cryptopp library.
In D5947 we are switched to using the Rust function for the signed string verification and we don't need the cryptopp and related C++ code base anymore.

Removing cryptopp from the dependencies is in the following D5949.

Linear task: ENG-2492

Test Plan

The Tunnelbroker server application is successfully built.

As we have trouble using Nix in the CI gate please ignore the Nix build fail for now.

rebase should fix CI gate

Adding @tomek for a final pass as this is a C++ part of the codebase.

Rebasing on master.

Why is the verification moved outside the newSessionHandler?

We are verifying now on the Rust side in D5947 and no need to call it from the C++ side anymore because we are using the Rust string verification function from D5945. We are returning an error in case the string verification failed and we can send it from the Rust now.
