- added --compress-input compiler option which forces the use of seeded
bootstrap keys and keyswitch keys
- replaced the concrete-cpu FHE implementation with tfhe-rs

This commit:
+ Adds support for a protocol which enables inter-op between concrete,
tfhe-rs and potentially other contributors to the fhe ecosystem.
+ Gets rid of hand-made serialization in the compiler, and
client/server libs.
+ Refactors client/server libs to allow more pre/post processing of
circuit inputs/outputs.
The protocol is supported by a definition in the shape of a capnp file,
which defines different types of objects among which:
+ ProgramInfo object, which is a precise description of a set of fhe
circuit coming from the same compilation (understand function type
information), and the associated key set.
+ *Key objects, which represent secret/public keys used to
encrypt/execute fhe circuits.
+ Value object, which represent values that can be transferred between
client and server to support calls to fhe circuits.
The hand-rolled serialization that was previously used is completely
dropped in favor of capnp in the whole codebase.
The client/server libs, are refactored to introduce a modular design for
pre-post processing. Reading the ProgramInfo file associated with a
compilation, the client and server libs assemble a pipeline of
transformers (functions) for pre and post processing of values coming in
and out of a circuit. This design properly decouples various aspects of
the processing, and allows these capabilities to be safely extended.
In practice this commit includes the following:
+ Defines the specification in a concreteprotocol package
+ Integrate the compilation of this package as a compiler dependency
via cmake
+ Modify the compiler to use the Encodings objects defined in the
protocol
+ Modify the compiler to emit ProgramInfo files as compilation
artifact, and gets rid of the bloated ClientParameters.
+ Introduces a new Common library containing the functionalities shared
between the compiler and the client/server libs.
+ Introduces a functional pre-post processing pipeline to this common
library
+ Modify the client/server libs to support loading ProgramInfo objects,
and calling circuits using Value messages.
+ Drops support of JIT.
+ Drops support of C-api.
+ Drops support of Rust bindings.

Instead of having one `getSQManp` implementation per op with a lot of repetition, the noise
calculation is now modular.
- Ops that implements`UnaryEint`/`BinaryInt`/`BinaryEint` interfaces share the operand noise
presence check.
- For many scalar ops no further calculation is needed. If it's not the case, an op can override
`sqMANP`.
- Integer operand types lookups are abstracted into `BinaryInt::operandIntType()`
- Finding largest operand value for a type is abstracted into `BinaryInt::operandMaxConstant`
- Noise calculation for matmul ops is simplified and it's now general enough to work for
`matmul_eint_int`, `matmul_int_eint` and `dot_eint_int` at once.
When using crt encoding, some fhe.zero op results will be converted to tensors (crt encoded eint), so should be converted to tfhe.zero_tensor operations instead of tfhe.zero
Printing the mnenomic in the custom printers for RT types leads to a
repetition, since the mnenomic is already printed by the
infrastructure invoking the custom printer (e.g., instead of
RT.future<...>, the printed type is `RT.futurefuture<...>`).
This commit removes the mnenomics from the custom printers and thus
causes them to emit the correct textual representation of types.
