## What has changed?
I've introduced to the public binding functionality that will compress and decompress public keys of a variety of encoding and key types. This functionality supports all major byte encoding formats and the following EC public key types:
- `secp256k1` pks
- `bls12-381 g1` pks
- `bls12-381 g2` pks
## Why make the change?
We want shorter public (chat) keys and we want to be future proof and encoding agnostic. See the issue here https://github.com/status-im/status-go/issues/1937
---
* Added basic signature for compresspk and uncompresspk
* Added basic encoding information
* make vendor
* formatted imports for the linter
* Reformatted imports hoping linter likes it
* This linter is capricious
* Added check that the secp256k1 key is valid
* Added test for valid key
* Added multiformat/go-varint dep
* Added public key type handling
* Added key decompression with key type handling
* Added handling for '0x' type indentifying
* Added more robust testing
* Less lint for the linting gods
* make vendor for bls12_381
* Added bls12-381 compression tests
* Added decompress key expected results
* Refactor of typed and untyped keys in tests
* Lint god appeasment
* Refactor of sample public keys
* Implemented bls12-381 decompression
* gofmt
* Renamed decode/encode funcs to be more descriptive
* Added binary bindings for key de/compression
* Refactor of func parameters
gomobile is a bit tempermental using raw bytes as a parameter, so I've decided to use string only inputs and outputs
* gofmt
* Added function documentation
* Moved multiformat de/compression into api/multiformat ns
* Moved multiformat de/compression into api/multiformat ns
* Changed compress to serialize on API
Update vendor
Integrate rendezvous into status node
Add a test with failover using rendezvous
Use multiple servers in client
Use discovery V5 by default and test that node can be started with rendezvous discovet
Fix linter
Update rendezvous client to one with instrumented stream
Address feedback
Fix test with updated topic limits
Apply several suggestions
Change log to debug for request errors because we continue execution
Remove web3js after rebase
Update rendezvous package
