Subject: [PATCH] por: select backend and curve using defines

The implementation supports two backends:
 - BLST (default)
 - Constantine (-d:por_backend_constantine)

The implementation supports PoR over the following curves:
 - BLS12-381 (default)
 - BN254_Starks (use -d:por_backend_constantine -d:por_curve_bn254)
