Change massa cryptographic functions

[Eitu33]

Context

We have been studying alternative crypto schemes in an effort to determine if they could improve the performances.

You can check the benchmarks results here.

It was concluded that using Schnorr (from secp256k1) as signature and Blake3 as hash would result in an improvement when compared to what is currently used, Secp256k1 and Sha256.

Schnorr vs Secp256k1

• no loss in performance
• gain in features

Blake3 vs Sha256

• no loss in security
• gain in performance
