Package @aztec/simulator contained a weird amalgamation of a generic "circuit simulator" (that could execute kernels, which are mostly vanilla noir circuits) and a very specific "aztec simulator" that executed aztec contract functions with a very particular set of oracles always provided by PXE. This caused a weird split, since both packages usually have to be edited at the same time as they're tightly coupled.

This PR tries to remove most of Aztec's specific stuff into PXE, to what we call the ContractFunctionSimulator for private, leaving simulator only as a thin abstraction on top of the acvm with extra niceties, such as oracle recording capabilities and error decoding.
