Similar to existing instruction `merkle_step`, the new instruction allows verifying a Merkle authentication path efficiently. Unlike the existing instruction, that authentication path lives in Triton VM's RAM. This allows to verifiably use the _same_ authentication path multiple times. This is relevant when updating a leaf in a Merkle tree in a verifiably correct manner.
