So many more tests in `fp` #169

Closed JoeyBF closed 3 months ago

JoeyBF commented 3 months ago

A new suite of tests that check the correct behavior of the most important methods on FqVectors for every field type and prime type. This brings the total number of unit tests in fp to 442, but it only takes around 2-3 minutes to run through them all.

The tests made me realize that, in FpVector, the methods that take in two vectors check the compatibility of the primes at dispatch time. Since we don't have that check any more in FqVector, I needed to add those in. I also added a check to make sure that, whenever we pass in a slice of elements, they are also defined over the correct field. This should not affect the performance over small prime fields because equality between ZSTs compiles to a no-op.

Note that I also implemented the from/to_bytes etc. methods on FqVector instead of its wrapper so that the serialization test can check it directly.

The diff is large but #168 is a strict subset of the commits, so it's just an extension of that PR.
