This branch includes the changes to remove the is_infinite flags from the ECADD opcode fn signature. The actual EC logic changes come above this PR in the stack, and any changes outside the AVM will be below.

For ease of review, I've separated into commits:

  • feat: remove inf flags from ecadd opcode - ec flow only Isolated to the EC flow only (does not change registers so non avm tests will fail)
  • feat: rem infs from fuzzer (only gadget fuzzer tested) Isolated fixes to get the fuzzer(s) compiling

Will partially close Foundation AVM Issue 19 (the following PR #23031 with ts/rs changes will fully close it).

Note that the opcode mismatches that in ts so CI will fail until #23031 is merged into this branch!

This branch solely contains the changes needed to remove the
`is_infinite` flag from our `StandardAffinePoint` C++ wrapper. Now, we
check whether `x` and `y` are zero to assign an `inf` underlying point.

This branch includes the changes to remove the `is_infinite` flag from
our point representation and conceptually treating a point as infinite
iff its coordinates are `(0, 0)`.

It only contains logic changes within the AVM for the above and does not
touch the opcode - this is in a lower PR - so the **CI will probably
fail**.

… AVM only) (#23031)

This branch includes the changes to remove the `is_infinite` flags from
the ECADD opcode fn signature which reside outside `vm2`. This includes
the transpiler, ts simulator, and anything required in ACIR.

Note that ACIR and noir's black box still use [the
flags](https://github.com/AztecProtocol/aztec-packages/blob/b30fe8f401d7af45148071924b22b3f377750eaf/barretenberg/cpp/src/barretenberg/dsl/acir_format/ec_operations.hpp#L34)

Since this touches both private and public execution, I think it's out
of scope of this task to update these.

### [OLD] Overview

Will close
[AVM-248](https://linear.app/aztec-labs/issue/AVM-248/enforce-canonical-point-at-infinity-representation)

As a kind of stopgap before removing the `is_infinite` flag completely
from the AVM
([AVM-266](https://linear.app/aztec-labs/issue/AVM-266/remove-is-inf-flag-from-ec-point-representation)),
we now follow Noir behaviour more closely by deriving `is_inf` from
coordinates inside the circuits ( `(x, y) == (0, 0) ? is_inf == true`).
This replaces previous logic remapping points to (0, 0) from `is_inf`.

This method relies on the on curve check (for `(0, 0) ==> is_inf `) and
some new relations enforcing coordinates (for `is_inf ==> (0, 0)`)
rather than (more expensive) error handling. However this does mean that
the former will fail with an on curve error whereas the latter will
simply fail a relation.
