our SigningCommitment type includes a signature of the identity of the participant creating the commitment, the raw signing commitments, and the input checksum

the signature allows other participants to verify that the commitment was created by the participant whose identity is included in the SigningCommitment. this verification takes place before creating a SigningPackage. without this verification an invalid SigningPackage can be created: the participant identity with the mismatched signing commitment will be unable to generate a signature share. the signature therefore allows the signing process to terminate one step earlier in case a participant generates an invalid commitment.

the multisig Ledger app will not be able to generate this signature without additional features.

these changes remove the signature from the SigningCommitment struct so that we will be able to create SigningCommitment instances from raw commitments generated on Ledger devices.
