Uses the go module's `replace` directive to delegate keccak computation
to precompiles.
This is still in draft because it needs more testing. Also, it relies on
a PR that I created, that hasn't been merged yet.
_Note that this PR doesn't implement the stateful keccak state
structure, and it reverts to the current behavior. This is a bit silly
since this is what is used in the tree root computation. The runtime
doesn't currently export the sponge. I will see if I can fix that in a
further PR, but it is going to take more time. In the meantime, this is
a useful first step_
https://go.dev/ref/mod#go-work-file advises against checking `go.work`
files because they can interfere with local development. We added the
workspace file in order to make `go test` and other tools work across
multiple modules. But it seems to cause weird issues with the
`go.work.sum` file being modified, etc.
So with this PR, we instead run all the `ci.go` commands for all modules
in the workspace manually.
Keeper is a zmvm guest program that runs the block transition.
It relies on the zkvm maker implementing `getInput`. For now, we only
provide a single implementation for the 'ziren' VM.
Why keeper?
In the _Mass Effect_ lore, the keepers are animals (?) who maintain the
citadel. Nothing is known from them, and attempts at tampering with them
have failed, as they self-destruct upon inquiry. They have a secret,
nefarious purpose that is only revealed later in the game series, don't
want any spoilers so I didn't dig deeper. All in all, a good metaphor
for zkvms.
