This PR start to target the issue of high memory usage by the PlonK prover.
Current status: memory usage in the Prover down by 35% (low hanging fruits)
It removes some unnecessary allocations, conversions. Also prepare the polynomials in LagrangeCoset form in a memory layout that performs better for
iop.Evaluate....Post Consensys/gnark-crypto#437, (reduces memory usage of FFT domains), here is roughly what the ProvingKey consumes in RAM (x axis: size of circuit (pow), y: Mb.). The
ExpandedTracecorrespond to theTracepolynomials inLagrangeCosetbasis.
