Parallel Multi-Scalar-Multiplication (#226)
* try parallel reduction in batch add, but alas it's slower than custom chunking. Except maybe on arch with performance/efficiency cores

* initial impl of parallel MSM - scaling to debug, threads not woken fast enough

* improve comment [skip ci]

* skip top window when c divides the number of bits

* for some reason parallel-for loops scale on 5+ threads while spawn only on 2x threads. Thread wakeup issue?

* Add counters and timers to audit threadpool bottlenecks

* metrics and profiling fixes, (slower) latency hiding, activate tests

* fix thief thread trying to wake another before canceling its own sleep

* easier to sort metrics and parallel endomorphism application

* selective endomorphism acceleration

* some tuning

* spawn can handle compile-time literals, static and type parameters. Also introduce spawnAwaitable to await void procs

* improve MSM overview [skip ci]

* bench cleanup

Ethereum Virtual Machine

Constantine implements precompiles primitives for the Ethereum virtual machine

  • ECADD on BN254_Snarks (called alt_bn128 in Ethereum), address 0x6, spec EIP-196 and pricing EIP-1108
  • ECMUL on BN254_Snarks (called alt_bn128 in Ethereum), address 0x7, spec EIP-196 and pricing EIP-1108
  • ECPAIRING on BN254_Snarks (called alt_bn128 in Ethereum), address 0x8, spec EIP-197 and pricing EIP-1108

Their main use-case is for use zero-knowledge proofs and zkRollups and be compatible with work on Zcash
