feat: Contract classes and instances

[spalladino]

Adds ContractInstance and ContractClass interfaces as specified in the yellow paper, with the addition of PublicFunctions in ContractClasses until we remove them as first class citizens from the protocol. Also includes hashes for contract classes and artifacts. Stores contract classes and instances in the node in new tables, as well as artifacts and instances in the pxe.

Fixes #4053

Benchmark results

Metrics with a significant change:

• note_trial_decrypting_time_in_ms (32): 125 (+99%)

Detailed results

All benchmarks are run on txs on the Benchmarking contract on the repository. Each tx consists of a batch call to create_note and increment_balance, which guarantees that each tx has a private call, a nested private call, a public call, and a nested public call, as well as an emitted private note, an unencrypted log, and public storage read and write.

This benchmark source data is available in JSON format on S3 here.

Values are compared against data from master at commit 301f0e6d and shown if the difference exceeds 1%.

looks great!

[alexghr]

Nice catch!

[alexghr]

It does 🥲. A more efficient conversion would be to create a Buffer that refers to the same slice of memory as the UInt8Array

Suggested change

	// TODO(@spalladino): AztecMap lies and returns Uint8Arrays instead of Buffers, hence the extra Buffer.from.
	return Promise.resolve(contract && contractArtifactFromBuffer(Buffer.from(contract)));
	// TODO(@spalladino): AztecMap lies and returns Uint8Arrays instead of Buffers, hence the extra Buffer.from.
	return Promise.resolve(contract && contractArtifactFromBuffer(Buffer.from(contract.buffer, contract.byteOffset, contract.length / contract.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT)));
	```

As an aside, I remember adding this conversion to the BufferReader (so it'd work with Buffers and UInt8Arrays), but maybe it got removed?

[spalladino]

To be fair, instead of properly serializing the artifact, we're just json stringifying, so there's a much needed pass to improve performance there!
