* WIP
* WIP
* Working serialization for both Mock and Plonky2 versions of Signed and Main Pods
* Restore useful comment about serialized_proof()
* Use plonky2 serialization for signatures and proofs
* Add schema renames for Serialized SignedPod/MainPod types
* Break out utility function for generating common circuit data
* Review feedback fixes
* migrate from anyhow to thiserror (#190). pending polish error msgs
* Add backtrace and compartmentalize errors
- Include backtraces in the errors we generate. To get this we can't
just return a literal enum, because the backtrace requires a call.
- Related to the previous point: add methods to create errors so
we can include the backtrace conveniently without changing too much
the syntax. So instead of `Err(Error::KeyNotFound(key))` (literal
enum) it will be `Err(Error::key_not_found(key))` (method call)
- Each error should be local to its scope, and each scope should
only return its own error.
- The merkle tree should return `TreeError` and not Error
- The middleware should return `MiddlewareError` and not Error
- With a global Error we can't easily include backend/frontend types in
the error fields, so declare a `BackendError` and a `FrontendError`
and follow the pattern from the previous point
- The Pod traits should be able to return backend errors and will be
used in the frontend; for that we change them to use trait object
Error: `dyn std::error::Error`
* fix error
* apply suggestions from @arnaucube
* rename XError and XResult to Error and Result
* reorg signature
* make frontend custom error more ergonomic
* remove unnecessary feature

* Add JSON Schema support
* Tests for JSON Schema generation and validation
* Add comments
* Support custom predicates
* Clippy fixes
* Make deserialization/constructor functions pub(crate)
* unify fe/be NativeOp and NativePred

* merge frontend/middleware types
* refactor custom predicates
* clean up a bit
* fix middleware custom tests
* clean up
* clean up 2
* add acronyms in typos list
* add boolean selector to the MerkleProofGadget, to allow skipping proof verifications when all the slots are not used (eg. in the SignedPod circuit)
* move existing signedpod's circuits draft to its own file
* implement SignedPodVerify circuit
