VM design

[mathcrypto]

AthenaVM is a VM and toolchain that will allow developers to write applications in Rust and deploy them to Spacemesh.The Athena project implementation has completed its initial research and low-level design phases, introducing a working VM compatible with the RV32IM instruction set and now moves into an integration phase to add blockchain functionalities and interface with go-spacemesh. Athena uses SP1 RISC-V VM as its core VM without the ZK components (SP1 is a RISC-V-based zkVM).
