Continuation of #8118.

In AztecIVC (or ClientIVC), when we have multiple instances, we create a commitment key for each one. However, since each of these instances are the same size, there's no need to create a new one for each one.

When we're constructing an instance beyond the first one, we can reuse the same commitment key from the AztecIVC accumulator, which saves ~123MB of memory for 2^17 circuits, a reduction of 15.6%.
After

After the change, we cut down max memory by 123MB.

should probably be deleted but I wish it was here so people would see what their gate counts are all the time.

We are living with clientivc printing data, I'm sure we could live with this for now

had to make these changes to ultra and ultra_keccak because otherwise the call to the constructor was just calling the Base one directly. That meant the polynomials did not get initialized to circuit_size length leading to a segfault.

I briefly tried getting rid of the Base constructors (from the using Base::Base; line), but other parts of the code complained.

actually, maybe adding default constructors to ProvingKey of each flavor would fix this and allow us to delete using Base::Base. I find it weird that we would want to directly call the base class constructor

Seems ok. Calling the parent class constructor from a child class constructor seems like a really natural pattern to me

oh, this comment wasn't referring to that pattern. It was referring to the using Base::Base line which brings in the base class constructors to the derived class, which was causing me to hit a segfault rather than a compile error.

Like I was just calling the base class constructor when I thought it would call the derived class constructor (because I forgot to change the derived constructor to take in the commitment_key).

a little ugly since we now have two blocks of if (!initialized) {} else {}

not great but ok for now. I'd think the eventual solution would be for IVC to initialize and manage its own commitment key then pass it to individual provers

could disable for CI given we have n=2 and n=6 already.

why even add this? this case is already contained in the failure test below

I'm using it to measure memory since it's the minimal case that does everything. Yeah I guess the failure test does 4 circuits but it was a failure test I guess.

I can just disable this and leave a comment saying it's for memory benchmarking

oh I see, didn't realize it was the memory case
