feat: add option to not require a t_aux file to be present

The `FFI_USE_FIXED_ROWS_TO_DISCARD` variable will make the proofs
ignore the `FIL_PROOFS_ROWS_TO_DISCARD` setting, hence not relying
on a `t_aux` file to be present. If enabled, then no `t_aux` file
will be written by the proofs and a hard-coded value for
`FIL_PROOFS_ROWS_TO_DISCARD` will be used.
