- 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.
Key serialization for transfers between nodes in clusters was broken
since the changes introduced to separate keys from key parameters and
introduction of support for multi-key (ref
cacffadbd2).
This commit restores functionality for distributing keys to non-shared
memory nodes.
This changes the order of batching variants for binary TFHE
operations, such that batching of both operands is favored over
batching of a single operand.
The current batching pass only supports batching of operations that
have a single batchable operand, that can only be batched in one way
and that operate on scalar values. However, this does not allow for
efficient batching of all arithmetic operations in TFHE, since these
are often applied to pairs of scalar values from tensors, to tensors
and scalars or to tensors that can be grouped in higher-order tensors.
This commit introduces three new features for batching:
1. Support of multiple batchable operands
The operation interface for batching now allows for the
specification of multiple batchable operands. This set can be
composed of any subset of an operation's operands, i.e., it is
not limited to sets of operands with contiguous operand indexes.
2. Support for multiple batching variants
To account for multiple kinds of batching, the batching operation
interface `BatchableOpInterface` now supports variants. The
batching pass attempts to batch an operation by trying the
batching variants expressed via the interface in order until it
succeeds.
3. Support for batching of tensor values
Some operations that could be batched already operate on tensor
values. The new batching pass detects those patterns and groups
the batchable tensors' values into higher-dimensional tensors.
