Two big changes to payout functions are introduced:

Payout functions are not specified as a set of endpoints with TLV-serialized curve pieces in-between.
Curve pieces now include hyperbolas and not only polynomials (which was all there was before this).

This allows contract determined as some hyperbola in the outcome to be specified succinctly.
