We only need is_identity() in tests and can implement it on the
concrete EccPoint type. This method is flagged off by #[cfg(test)].

Previously, these two helpers were returning different outputs.
They have now been standardised to return only the full running
sum.
Note the z_0 is the original element being decomposed by the
helper.
- Placing the Poseidon `state` columns after the `partial_sbox` column
instead of before it causes them to line up with vast stretch of free
space, enabling the pad-and-add region to be layed out there.
- Using the `Region::assign_advice_from_constant` API to initialise the
Poseidon state removes fixed-column contention between that region and
fixed-base scalar multiplication, enabling it to also be layed out
within the free space.
- If https://github.com/zcash/halo2/issues/334 were implemented then
this region would disappear.
- The overflow check in variable-base scalar mul is also moved into the
columns with free space.
Previously, l_plus_1 was a non-binary fixed column, used to
1. provide the value of l + 1; and
2. toggle the decomposition gate.
Now, the value is copied in from the global constants column, and
the toggle is handled by a binary q_decompose selector.
We were configuring multiple instances of this across all of the advice
columns, in order to spread their assignments. However, we are actually
more constrained by columns than rows, and we have comparatively few
rows of range check logic required for the Action circuit.
We now use a single LookupRangeCheckConfig for the entire circuit. The
reduction in lookup arguments and fixed columns cuts the proof size in
half (now at 6048 bytes when using `floor_planner::V1`).

- Move Poseidon into the right-hand advice columns. The Action circuit
has 33 Sinsemilla invocations with 510-bit inputs (the 32 Merkle path
hashes, and Commit^ivk). Poseidon fits within the row count of one of
these invocations, so we can run it in parallel with these.
- Share fixed columns between ECC and Poseidon chips. Poseidon requires
four advice columns, while ECC incomplete addition requires six, so we
could choose to configure them in parallel. However, we only use a
single Poseidon invocation, and we have the rows to accomodate it
serially with fixed-base scalar mul. Sharing the ECC chip's 8 Lagrange
coefficient fixed columns instead reduces the proof size.
- We position Poseidon in the right-most 6 fixed columns, anticipating
a further optimisation to Sinsemilla that will occupy the left-most
2 fixed columns.
- `halo2::plonk::{create_proof, verify_proof}` now take instance columns
as slices of values.
- `halo2::plonk::Permutation` has been replaced by a global permutation,
to which columns can be added with `ConstraintSystem::enable_equality`.
- The introduction of blinding rows means that various tests now require
larger circuit parameters.
The coordinate check for an element decomposed using a running sum
is enforced by mul_fixed::Config::running_sum_coords_gate().

Selectors previously used in the witness_scalar_* APIs, such as
q_scalar_fixed and q_scalar_fixed_short, are now removed. The
remaining selectors have been renamed for clarity.
The coordinates check for scalars decomposed using a running sum
has been moved into the mul_fixed.rs file, instead of being
duplicated in both mul_fixed::base_field_elem and mul_fixed::short.
The decompose_scalar_fixed() method is now only used in
mul_fixed::full_width, and has been moved there.
These are now provided as inputs to the witness_decompose() and
copy_decompose() methods. This allows us to reuse the same config
for different word/window lengths, avoiding a duplicate constraint
creation.

In the Orchard protocol, only the NullifierK fixed base in used in
scalar multiplication with a base field element.
The mul_fixed_base_field_elem() API does not have to accept fixed
bases other than NullifierK; conversely, NullifierK does not have
to work with the full-width mul_fixed() API.
This decomposes a field element into K-bit windows using a
running sum. Each step of the running sum is range-constrained.
In strict mode, the final output of the running sum is constrained
to be zero.
This helper asserts K <= 3.
The mul_fixed regions use complete addition on the last window,
and incomplete addition on all other windows. However, the complete
addition does not depend on any offsets in the incomplete addition
region, and can be separated into a disjoint region. Since incomplete
addition uses only four advice columns, while complete addition uses
nine, separating the regions would allow the layouter to optimise
their placement.

We can use the three-bit existing running sum decomposition to
constrain alpha_0 to be within 130 bits. This removes the need for
a 10-bit lookup decomposition of alpha_0.
