The key generation required by the Flow random beacon is basically a BLS threshold signature key generation. While such generation can be done in a multi-party way (in a distributed manner), it can simply be done by a single-party playing the role of a secret sharing dealer.
The distributed version is suitable for multi-party trustless protocols in production mode. The simple method is enough for a single-party mode with a trusted setup, such is the case of bootstrap and tests.
Tests and network bootstraps are centralized processes happening on a single machine. The distributed version can only happen by simulating a network of multiple nodes and their communication (too complex for the these use cases). Such simulation is implemented in the crypto package tests, to test the DKG itself, but doesn't need to be used in other cases.
This PR deletes the option to use the simulated distributed version from bootstraps and tests:
