Adding Rust implementation of Alba

rrtoledo commented 2 months ago

This PR aims at adding the Rust implementation of Alba. This includes:

Prehashed version & Bounded version: some TODO left to fully implement the recursive hash optimization and look at hash personalization, etc.
(limited) tests: positive and negative tests. Need to add randomized tests as well as property testing.
(limited) doc: Succinct comments on code that can be compiled with cargo doc
(limited) bench: bench in tests (add assert!(false) to display) with low parameters, need to separate these in distinct file.

I think we should add Rust CI along with this PR, at a minimum.

@abailly-iohk I was thinking the same thing. I am going to work on that 👍

I am going to merge this PR as discussed: we need to start somewhere on the path towards a production-ready library and this is as good a starting point as anything.
