CPourTx structural changes
* Enable binary serialization of proofs and the proving key (closes#799) and make the proofs fixed-size.
* Reorder fields of CPourTx to match the spec (closes#927)
Implement and integrate new Incremental Merkle Tree
This supersedes #823.
----
This is an implementation of a new incremental merkle tree with
* no memory safety issues
* a more sensible internal design
* better space efficiency (tree representation, witnessing)
* simpler API
It is intended that this tracks the behavior of the previous tree, which it does, as verified by tests. I even wrote a little circuit for testing that all the paths work.
This PR also integrates the tree into the codebase and deprecates the old tree in almost all of our code. (I left it alone in `zerocashTest` but everything else has been changed.)
This change is compatible with the testnet but you will need to clear your *local* blockchain data out since the serialized representation of the merkle tree is now different.
Closes#517, Closes#519, Closes#591, Closes#460, Closes#473
This is a new implementation of the incremental merkle tree used by our
scheme to witness commitments to spendable value. It serves as a fixed-sized
accumulator.
This new construction has a much simpler API surface area, avoids memory
safety issues, remains pruned at all times, avoids serialization edge cases,
has more efficient insertion, and is abstract over the depth and hash
function used at the type level.
Further, it lays the groundwork for efficient "fast-forwarding" of witnesses
into the tree as the treestate is updated.
