Release v0.51.0

[xgreenx]

Version v0.51.0

Added

• #732: Adds reset method to VM memory.

Breaking

• #732: Makes the VM generic over the memory type, allowing reuse of relatively expensive-to-allocate VM memories through VmMemoryPool. Functions and traits which require VM initalization such as estimate_predicates now take either the memory or VmMemoryPool as an argument. The Interpterter::eq method now only compares accessible memory regions. Memory was renamed into MemoryInstance and Memory is a trait now.

Changed

Breaking

• #743: Zeroes $flag on CALL, so that contracts can assume clean $flag state.
• #737: Panic on instructions with non-zero reserved part.
