Enable WASM-compat and monitor it in the CI (#142)
* fix: Use `target_pointer_size` conditional compilation
There are some parts of the code where is needed to de/serialze
`usize`s. These, have sizes that vary depending on the target
achitecture the code is compiled for.
Hence, this adapts the de/serialization to the specific pointer size for
which the crate is being compiled to.
* change: Support WASM-compatibility and polish Cargo.toml
In order to support Wasm-compat and to simplify and improve `Cargo.toml`
readability, the follwing changes have been made:
- All the deps that can use `parallel` feature, do so. As `rayon`
supports non-threaded targets with a fallback option. See: https://docs.rs/rayon-core/1.12.1/rayon_core/index.html#global-fallback-when-threading-is-unsupported
- `ark-grumpking` has been brought to `0.5.0-alpha.0` as `0.4.0` appears
to not be in `crates.io` anymore. See: https://crates.io/crates/ark-grumpkin/versions
- By default, the crate uses `"ark-circom/default"` which selects the
`wasmer/sys` feature such that it knows where wasmer is
suposed to be run`.
- Added a `wasm` feature which forces `ark-circom/wasm` to be used
instead. Which internally selects the `wasmer/js` backend to be used
such that in-browser execution is possible.
- Added `getrandom` with `js` feature as dependency when `wasm32-unknown-unknown` target is selected such
that compilation of the crate for testing or simply building is possible. Notice that with `wasi` and other wasm targets,
this is not the case as they're automatically supported.

* feat: Support WASM-compatibility tests in CI
Add support for both testing the build of `sonobe/folding-schemes` for
WASM-targets and also, it's build as a dependency for a WASM-crate.
This includes a build job for the three main supported rust-WASM targets
and the same but for a thrid crate creted on-the-fly which uses
`sonobe/folding-schemes` as a dependency.
* chore: Add README docs about WASM-compat & feats
* ci: don't run WASM-compat job if PR is draft
* chore: depend on `arnaucube/circom-compat` fork.
Since https://github.com/arnaucube/circom-compat/pull/2 was merged, we
can already switch to it as we were depending before.
* chore: minimal build/test instructions
* fix: CI typos
* fix: Update CI to use correct feature sets
* fix: `ark-grumpkin` versioning issues
As mentioned in
https://github.com/privacy-scaling-explorations/sonobe/issues/146
there's a big issue that involves some dependencies of the crate.
As a temporary fix, this forces the workspace to rely on a
"non-existing" version of `ark-grumpkin` which is immediately patched at
workspace-level for a custom version that @arnaucube owns with some
cherry-picked commits.
While this allows the CI to pass and crate to build, a better solution
is needed.
* fix: Clippy CI avoiding --all-targets
* fix: use `wasm` feat only with folding-schemes
Where the target can be any WASM one and the `parallel` feature is optional.
**Trying to build for a WASM-target without the `wasm` feature or viceversa will end up in a compilation error.**
### Docs
Detailed usage and design documentation can be found at [Sonobe docs](https://privacy-scaling-explorations.github.io/sonobe-docs/).
### WASM-compatibility & features
The `sonobe/folding-schemes` crate is the only workspace member that supports WASM-target compilation. But, to have it working, `getrandom/js` needs
to be imported in the `Cargo.toml` of the crate that uses it as dependency.
```toml
[dependencies]
folding-schemes = { version = "0.1.0", default-features = false, features = ["parallel", "wasm"] }
getrandom = { version = "0.2", features = ["js"] }
```
See more details about `getrandom` here: https://docs.rs/getrandom/latest/getrandom/#webassembly-support.
Also, notice that:
- `wasm` feature **IS MANDATORY** if compilation to WASM targets is desired.
- `parallel` feature enables some parallelization optimizations available in the crate.
- `light-test` feature runs the computationally-intensive parts of the testing such as the full proof generation for the Eth-decider circuit
of Nova which is approximately 4-5M constraints. **This feature only matters when it comes to running Sonobe's tests.**
### Folding Schemes introduction
Folding schemes efficiently achieve incrementally verifiable computation (IVC), where the prover recursively proves the correct execution of the incremental computations.
