feat!: Support contracts with no constructor

[spalladino]

Changes:

• Breaking: constructor is no longer an enshrined function name, it's now required to flag the constructor with aztec(initializer).
• Remove need for a function named constructor in noir aztec-macros and yarn-packages
• Add isInitializer flag to contract artifact
• Default the initializer to a function that has the aztec(initializer) attribute, if there's more than one, pick one at random, preferring private ones
• When there's no initializer, the initializationHash of a contract instance is set to zero
• Remove empty constructor functions from our contracts, and flag public constructors as initializer where missing

Benchmark results

Metrics with a significant change:

• tx_pxe_processing_time_ms (0): 3,258 (-18%)

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 19eb7f9b and shown if the difference exceeds 1%.
