* Port HyperNova's multifolding from https://github.com/privacy-scaling-explorations/multifolding-poc adapting and refactoring some of its methods and structs.

Note: adapted mle.rs methods from dense to sparse repr.

* HyperNova: move CCS struct outside of LCCCS & CCCS

HyperNova nimfs: move CCS structure outside of LCCCS & CCCS, to avoid
carrying around the whole CCS and duplicating data when is not needed.

Also add feature flags for the folding schemes.

- Add naive decider circuit `RelaxedR1CSGadget`, which in-circuit checks
  that the given z satisfies the given RelaxedR1CS instance
- Add method to relax the R1CS instance
- Add check_relation (for testing only) to R1CS & RelaxedR1CS
- Migrate from own SparseMatrix to use ark_relations::r1cs::Matrix
- Add frontend helper to use arkworks circuits

* Implement Nova's NIFS.Verify circuits (with CycleFold)

- Add circuit for NIFS.Verify on the main curve to check the folded `u`
  & `x`
- Add circuit for NIFS.Verify on the CycleFold's auxiliary curve to
  check the folded `cm(E)` & `cm(W)`
- Add transcript.get_challenge_nbits
- Add tests for utils::vec.rs

* replace bls12-377 & bw6-761 by pallas & vesta curves (only affects tests)

We will use pallas & vesta curves (for tests only, the non-tests code
uses generics) for the logic that does not require pairings, and while
Grumpkin is not available
(https://github.com/privacy-scaling-explorations/folding-schemes/issues/12).

* update links to papers to markdown style

Port Espresso/hyperplonk's `virtualpolynomial`, `multilinearpolynomial`
and `sum_check` utils from
https://github.com/EspressoSystems/hyperplonk/tree/main
Each file contains the reference to the original file.

Porting it into a subdirectory `src/utils/espresso`, to have it
self-contained. In future iterations we might replace part of it but we
can keep focusing on the folding schemes part for now.

- utils::vec module: port a mix of vec utils from nova-study, multifolding-poc and protogalaxy-poc repos
- pedersen.rs: Pedersen commitment module
- other:
  - update FoldingScheme trait interface: rm rng, update internal types naming as agreed in today's call
  - update Cargo.toml dev-dependencies imports, since bn254 - grumpkin is not ready yet, use bls12-377 - bw6-761 curve cycle
  - transcript module: add absorb_point method

* feat: draft traits `FoldingScheme` and `Decider`

Co-authored-by: arnaucube <root@arnaucube.com>

* Add Transcript trait, with PoseidonTranscript impl (#1)

Add also the PoseidonTranscriptVar (gadget).

* Update FoldingScheme trait to take C1 & C2 as params (#2)

* Update FoldingScheme trait to take C1 & C2 as params

Update FoldingScheme trait to take C1 & C2 as params which are used by
the diverse folding schemes as a cycle of curves.

* Add constraint to FoldingScheme C1,C2 fields swap.
