Do not merge unless you want to switch the EdDSA escrow key off. This PR exists so that turning it off is one click instead of a scramble.

Renames eddsa/d/k.pemeddsa/d/k_disabled.pem in a single commit. The key content is unchanged and stays in the repo; only the filename changes, which is what decides whether the app finds it. This is the same disarm convention already used for the ECDSA key (q/k_disabled.pem on the per-env branches).

What merging this does. The URL the mobile app reads returns 404 again:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/KZen-networks/ZenGo/master/eddsa/d/k.pem

The app treats that as "the recovery key has not been published yet" — a normal, non-error state. EdDSA server recovery simply stops being offered on dev / dev2 / qastaging. Nothing crashes, no app release is needed, and normal app usage is unaffected either way.

When you would merge it. If the published key causes unwanted EdDSA recovery prompts on dev / dev2 / qastaging (those three environments have the URL configured but are not covered by the in-app QA fixture gate, so they act on it), or if the key needs to be withdrawn for any other reason.

To re-arm afterwards: rename back to k.pem.
