* Bump to arkworks-0.4.0

* Replace remaining usages of `msm_bigint` with `msm_unchecked`

Using `msm_unchecked` instead of `msm_bigint` allows to delete the BigInt conversion code by letting the library take care of it.

Updates the requirements on [criterion](https://github.com/bheisler/criterion.rs) to permit the latest version.
