undefined symbol when importing blspy

[lourkeur]

When using pybind11 2.8+, everything compiles but an ImportError is raised at runtime with the message:

File "/nix/store/p3c7js1a70c3v28vhbcnq1fvffmxwx6f-python3-3.9.7/lib/python3.9/importlib/__init__.py", line 127, in import_module

To my understanding, this is because constant static members such as GTElement::SIZE sometimes require a definition to be provided explicitly in a single translation unit under C++11 (but not C++17, then they are optional) The issue is alleviated by adding those definitions.

This was encountered on NixOS after force-updating pybind11, but seems like a latent bug so it might be good to nip it in the bud now.
