Feature Request: Support for Edwards-Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (EdDSA) in JWT

[RaedAddala]

The library currently doesn't support the Edwards-Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (EdDSA), including Ed25519. Adding support for EdDSA would enhance cryptographic options for JWT signing and verification.

Questions:

1. Are there any plans to add EdDSA support?
2. If not, is community contribution welcome, and are there any guidelines for adding new JWT algorithms?

In particular Ed25519 support would be great! More solid security for less load.

And @noble/ed25519 looks a promising (also MIT licensed) lib to base it on.

(do not think many will care for the other algorithm mentioned in RFC-8032 Ed448)

EdDSA is being taken care of in #978
