Description

The current definition of PairingFriendlyCycle has a small problem that Engine2::G2Affine = E2, which would not be able to represent the MNT4/6 cycle under the current representation (where G_1 resides the matching groups). This PR modifies the definition as Engine2::G1Affine = E2 so that it works with the correct pairing representation of MNT4/6.

closes: #216
