* fix clippy nits
* start implementing the ro gadget: 1st design Poseidon + truncate
* truncate to 128 bits
* implement add + double in constraints
* finish implementing constraints for ecc
* cargo fmt
* input of smul should be an array of bits
* cleanup ro a bit. Make the challenge returned be a vec of allocated bits
* switch to neptune 6.0

* add test to check that bellperson-nonnative is compatible with nova
* remove swap file
* add another test that fails
* add inputs to the circuits in tests
* rename q to m in circuit.rs. add more tests in test_bellperson_non_native. change a in test_mult_mod to expose error
* push test for equal_with_carried. fix the issue is src/r1cs.rs
* cargo fmt + update the verifier circuit: add folding of X and update all hashes with X
* make limb_width and n_limbs parameters
* make params part of h1

* Separate types for Relaxed R1CS and R1CS instances and witnesses
* Allows creating default values for Relaxed R1CS types
* StepSNARK now folds a regular R1CS instance-witness into a running Relaxed R1CS instance-witness
* We additionally enforce input chaining checks: the incoming instance must have input that matches the output of the incremental computation thus far
