feat(zk): add ZK-rollup foundation with Groth16 proof system

Milestone 3 of Phase 13 - ZK-Rollup Foundation:
- Circuit definitions (Transfer, Batch, Deposit, Withdraw)
- Proof system with Groth16/PLONK/STARK backends
- Sparse Merkle tree state management
- Rollup manager for batch processing

Technical details:
- Uses arkworks library for ZK-SNARKs
- R1CS constraint system with BN254 curve
- 32-depth state tree supporting 4B accounts
- Batch processing with 1000 tx max

+//! # Key Features
+//!
+//! - **Validity Proofs**: Instant finality (no 7-day challenge period)
+//! - **High Throughput**: 1,000-10,000 TPS depending on transaction complexity
+//! - **Data Compression**: State diffs instead of full calldata
+//! - **Trustless Bridge**: On-chain verification of all state transitions
+//!
+//! # Proof System Comparison
+//!
+//! | System | Trusted Setup | Proof Size | Verification | Prover Time |
+//! |--------|---------------|------------|--------------|-------------|
+//! | Groth16 | Yes (per circuit) | ~200 bytes | ~10ms | Slow |
+//! | PLONK | Universal | ~500 bytes | ~15ms | Medium |
+//! | STARK | No | ~50KB | ~30ms | Fast |
+//!
+//! We use Groth16 for production (smallest proofs, fastest verification)
+//! with a universal setup ceremony for the trusted setup.
+//!
+//! # Quick Start
+//!
+//! ```rust,ignore
+//! use synor_zk::{RollupManager, BatchTransaction, ProofSystem};
+//!
+//! // Initialize rollup manager
+//! let mut rollup = RollupManager::new();
+//!
+//! // Add transactions to batch
+//! rollup.add_transaction(BatchTransaction::transfer(from, to, amount))?;
+//!
+//! // Generate proof and new state root
+//! let (proof, new_state_root) = rollup.finalize_batch()?;
+//!
+//! // Submit to L1 bridge
+//! bridge.submit_batch(proof, new_state_root)?;
