Chore(rln-relay): adds more documentation for rln nim bindings (#1016)

* annotates rln nim bindings for more clarity

* adds pointer to the rln construct

* revises further

* addresses comments

* revises proc description of verify

* removes AuthObj

## this proc is used to map arbitrary signals to field element for the sake of proof generation
## inputs_buffer holds the hash input as a byte seq
## the hash output is generated and populated inside output_buffer
