Thank you @fegge, I support this change.
Minor nit regarding the documentation, and I believe the test can be simplified -- see comments.
The internal pre-hash sign/verify entry points now return MLD_ERR_FAIL when called with MLD_PREHASH_NONE, matching the documented set of accepted hash algorithms. Doc comments in mldsa_native.h and sign.h are updated to state the rejection explicitly. test_sign_pre_hash is extended to cover both rejection paths. Signed-off-by: Fredrik Dahlgren <fredrik.dahlgren@trailofbits.com> [hbecker: squashed fixup commits, rewrote subject/body, folded the rejection checks into test_sign_pre_hash] Signed-off-by: Hanno Becker <beckphan@amazon.co.uk>

Thank you @fegge for this! I took the liberty to squash the fixup commits and simplify the test a little.
@mkannwischer Are you OK with this? It, too, touches on the broader question of parameter validation of the public API.
