Integrates Arkworks PR #771, which omits an expensive and unnecessary check when deserializing group elements. This check ensures that a curve point is in the correct prime-order subgroup by multiplying it by the scalar field's modulus. This is not needed when using prime-order elliptic curve groups, as is the case for
bn254
,grumpkin
, and any curve that occurs as part of a cycle.
