feat: jest fast transpile. no more ts-jest.

[charlielye]

ts-jest is slow. It performs full type checking before we even hit a line of code. This can lead to upwards of 7+ seconds of wait time in some cases (like e2e tests).

It's not really necessary to do such type-checking when in a development cycle, as:

1. Your IDE is likely running tsc.
2. You're likely running an yarn tsc -b --watch in the root of the project, to ensure you're getting incremental builds applied to dest folders for cross module imports.
3. CI will do a full build as a backstop for devs that didn't do incrementals and forgot to sanity check the project with a yarn build.

This PR swaps ts-jest for @swc/jest, a rust transpiler which can leverage the explicit type imports in the previous PR to do very fast ts->js transpilation.

I think swapping out type-safety in this point of the dev cycle is worth the improved feedback cycle. Especially given points above.

It also knocks about a second off startup time by not calling yarn bin jest in the test script, as yarn startup itself is annoyingly slow.

Running foundation tests:

• before: 7.8s
• after: 3.7s

Running circuits.js tests:

• before: 13.3s
• after: 5.8s

I expect the performance improves even more as you higher up the stack and ts-jest had more to transpile.

Benchmark results

Metrics with a significant change:

• note_successful_decrypting_time_in_ms (32): 618 (+16%)

Detailed results

All benchmarks are run on txs on the Benchmarking contract on the repository. Each tx consists of a batch call to create_note and increment_balance, which guarantees that each tx has a private call, a nested private call, a public call, and a nested public call, as well as an emitted private note, an unencrypted log, and public storage read and write.

This benchmark source data is available in JSON format on S3 here.

Values are compared against data from master at commit 07794ee1 and shown if the difference exceeds 1%.

[spalladino]

Looks awesome!!

[spalladino]

We got an .mjs in the end-to-end tests, do you know if we need to flag it here?

[charlielye]

If CI passes, I'm going to assume not relevant. I mean this was a stack-overflow paste so I don't really have a deep understanding of why I even had to add it. But it made an error go away.
Hate this stuff. That's why I was investigating bun. Maybe one day.

[spalladino]

Do you know why these jest configs were needed in some packages?

[charlielye]

Nope. Some packages were not using the inheritance scripts, so I assumed it was some kind old divergence that possibly got copied around.
But I mean, if everything passes then we don't need em right?
