Add [ff](https://github.com/matter-labs/ff) for internal finite field operations, and add `add-2008-bbjlp` for point addition.

add: `168x` improvement
mul_scalar: `923x` improvement
sign: `394x` improvement
verify: `300x` improvement
Still needs a refactor.

Which is `168x` improvement for `add`, and `923x` improvement for `mul_scalar`.
