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`).

- `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- `halo2::plonk::Permutation` has been replaced by a global permutation,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.
