Pull request: fix(ext/node): support SEC1 EC private key import/export in `node:crypto`

## Summary

- Fix SEC1 EC private key import failing with "malformed or missing named curve in ec parameters" when the optional `parameters` field is absent
- Fix SEC1 EC private key export to include the curve OID in the `parameters` field, matching OpenSSL/Node.js behavior
- The `elliptic-curve` crate's `to_sec1_der()` omits the optional parameters field, so Deno-exported keys couldn't be re-imported

### Import fix
When the curve OID is missing from the PKCS#8 `AlgorithmIdentifier`, fall back to:
1. Extracting it from the inner SEC1 `ECPrivateKey.parameters` field
2. Inferring the curve from the private key byte length (28→P-224, 32→P-256, 48→P-384)

### Export fix
After calling `to_sec1_der()`, re-encode with the curve OID added to the `parameters` field.

Closes #22920

## Test plan

- [x] Added unit test covering SEC1 PEM/DER round-trip for all four EC curves (P-224, P-256, P-384, secp256k1)
- [x] `cargo test unit_node::crypto` passes
- [x] Manual verification with reproduction script from the issue
