This PR attempts to address issue https://github.com/w3c/vc-di-ecdsa/issues/15. The cited reference, FIPS 186-5 (2023) does not specify a "detached ECDSA signature" it specifies "An ECDSA or deterministic ECDSA digital signature" procedure which is dependent upon having appropriate elliptic curves and hashes specified (which do in the algorithms section of the document).
This PR removes the potentially misleading "detached" term and provides clarification of where to find curve and hash specifics.
