Implement zkx (zk for cortex in plonk) type-related libraries (block, tx, op, aggregate, gas, etc.), and pass related single tests. (Compared with zion, the new types: mint_nft, withdraw_nft, swap and change pubkey can be authorized by onchain functions, and support eip-1271 sig)
The test investigated halo2 related codes (fibonacci circuit), pse version ipa -> kzg (on-chain verification)
Refactor the recursive circuit part, pass the basic process test and benchmark. (setup and vk create: 886s, proof for aggregate(proof num:2, depth:3): 1374s)
