Implement zkSNARK compression Implement zkSNARK compression. The serialization format of zkSNARKs has now been specified in our protocol specification. G1/G2 elements are now compressed into 33 byte and 65 byte formats, repsectively. `MONTGOMERY_OUTPUT` is enabled everywhere to make proving/verifying keys load faster and be consistent with the MPC. Proofs are now 296 bytes. This PR also updates the proving and verifying keys. Closes #1103. Closes #471.

What is Zcash?
Zcash is an implementation of the "Zerocash" protocol. Based on Bitcoin's code, it intends to offer a far higher standard of privacy and anonymity through a sophisticiated zero-knowledge proving scheme which preserves confidentiality of transaction metadata.
Zcash is unfinished and highly experimental. Use at your own risk.
