* add sha256 bench
* feat: Refactor sha256 benchmark and update dependencies
- Refactored the `sha256.rs` benchmarking file by replacing the former `hex_literal::hex` usage with a newly created `decode_hex` function.
- Updated the "Test vectors" section to work with the new `decode_hex` function to compute digests in `Sha256Circuit` instances.
- adapted to new APIs for RecursiveSNARK
- Amended the `Cargo.toml` file to include the `sha2` package dependency, version `0.10.7`.
- added the bench target
* cargo fmt

* chore: update to ff/group 0.13 and associated dependencies
Updates:
- zkcrypto/ff, zkcrypto/group to 0.13,
- bellperson to 0.25,
- pasta_curves to 0.5.1, and removes the fil_pasta_curves fork
- pasta-msm should no longer need a fork (WIP)
Adapts source in function, mostly for const usage and API updates.
* expose the portable feature of pasta-MSM
* update pointer to pasta-msm
* Clippy

* update benches to use the new API
* add an example that exercises non-deterministic advice at each step of recursion
* tiny rename
* Address clippy; update version
